Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to simulating patterns of reflected radar energy off of reference objects using motion data associated with these reference objects. This motion data may identify start times, start locations, end times, and end locations of a limited number reference objects in a set of discrete scenes. Each of these discrete scenes may also have a same time duration. Motion of these specific objects between a start time and an end time of each discrete scene may be interpolated. Once the locations of the objects are interpolated for a given scene, simulations may be performed to estimate the appearance of reflected radar signals that would be received by a radar apparatus. These simulations may identify patterns of reflected radar energy after radar signals have been emitted from the radar apparatus and these patterns may then be provided to train a machine learning apparatus.

Abstract: A tunable processor performance benchmarking method and system (100) estimates candidate software performance on a target processing environment (104) without porting the application. The candidate software's resource consumption is characterized to determine cache hit or miss rates. A test software generator (102) generates test software that is configured to have substantially the same cache miss rates and processor utilization, and its performance is measured when executing on the target processing environment (104). Instruction cache hit rates are maintained for the test software by selectively branching either within a routine (308, 310) that is resident in the instruction cache or to a routine (308, 310) that is not within the instruction cache. Data blocks (332, 334) are also selectively accessed in order to maintain a desired data cache miss rate.
