Ring Oscillators

This page collects ring oscillator timing tests for embedded systems (the prior page is here).

GPIO

The GPIO test measures how quickly pins can communicate with a processor core. Two pins are connected; a bit is output on one, read on the other, and inverted in software, with the frequency of the resulting oscillation reported.
