# Dot Product Calculation Example (See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.) This example demonstrates how to use dotprod dsps_dotprod_f32 from esp-dsp library. Example does the following steps: 1. Initialize the input arrays 2. Calculate dot product of two arrays 3. Compare results and calculate execution time in cycles. ## How to use example ### Hardware required This example does not require any special hardware, and can be run on any common development board. ### Configure the project Under Component Config ---> DSP Library ---> DSP Optimization, it's possible to choose either the optimized or ANSI implementation, to compare them. ### Build and flash Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output (replace PORT with serial port name): ``` idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` (To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.) See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects. ## Example output Here is an typical example console output. ``` I (55) main: Start Example. I (55) main: The sum of 101 elements from 0..100 = 5050.000000 I (55) main: Operation for 101 samples took 1381 cycles I (65) main: End Example. ```
To create a project from this example, run:
idf.py create-project-from-example "espressif/esp-dsp=1.4.11:dotprod"
