Several commercially available processor architectures are evaluated with respect to their suitability for the robotic domain. A realistic workload, encompassing all the major computations required for high-performance robot manipulator control, is presented. The C language implementation of the algorithms, developed for evaluation purposes but reflecting an actual robotic system programming scenario, is also discussed. Results achieved by execution of the robotic benchmark suite on a set of advanced microprocessors are contrasted with those of conventional benchmarks, revealing architectural features and performance issues of interest for designers of computer systems targeted to robotic applications.

Abstract
Several commercially available processor architectures are evaluated with respect to their suitability for the robotic domain. A realistic workload, encompassing all the major computations required for high-performance robot manipulator control, is presented. The C language implementation of the algorithms, developed for evaluation purposes but reflecting an actual robotic system programming scenario, is also discussed. Results achieved by execution of the robotic benchmark suite on a set of advanced microprocessors are contrasted with those of conventional benchmarks, revealing architectural features and performance issues of interest for designers of computer systems targeted to robotic applications.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
