// Stub Code definitions

// Platform dependent parameters for array copy stubs

// Note: we have noticed a huge change in behavior on a microbenchmark
// from platform to platform depending on the configuration.

// Instead of adding a series of command line options (which
// unfortunately have to be done in the shared file and cannot appear
// only in the ARM port), the tested result are hard-coded here in a set
// of options, selected by specifying 'ArmCopyPlatform'

// Currently, this 'platform' is hardcoded to a value that is a good
// enough trade-off.  However, one can easily modify this file to test
// the hard-coded configurations or create new ones. If the gain is
// significant, we could decide to either add command line options or
// add code to automatically choose a configuration.

// see comments below for the various configurations created
#define DEFAULT_ARRAYCOPY_CONFIG 0
#define TEGRA2_ARRAYCOPY_CONFIG 1
#define IMX515_ARRAYCOPY_CONFIG 2

// Hard coded choices (XXX: could be changed to a command line option)
