@ -374,6 +374,34 @@ The test was last run on commit `b161a69e` with gcc version
stepper result is `SET ticks 277`, the best dual stepper result is
`SET ticks 410`, and the best three stepper result is `SET ticks 664`.
## Command dispatch benchmark ##
The command dispatch benchmark tests how many "dummy" commands the
micro-controller can process. It is primarily a test of the hardware
communication mechanism. The test is run using the console.py tool
(described above). The following is cut-and-paste into the console.py
terminal window:
```
DELAY {clock+freq} get_uptime
FLOOD 100000 0.0 end_group
get_uptime
```
When the test completes, determine the difference between the clocks
reported in the two "uptime" response messages. The total number of
commands per second is then `100000 * mcu_frequency / clock_diff`.
