I just noticed today an online code cycle analyzer that targets the Cortex-A8:

Does anyone know who the author of that is, and whether he'd be interested in doing an A9 update?

Interesting. I've had a quick play with the tool and it seems to display the amount of cycles for each instruction plus some pipelining infos in the left most column. This blog entry has a brief description: http://pulsar.webshaker.net/2011/05/15/program-to-count-the-cycles-of-the-a8... . It looks like it doesn't know the dmb and ldrex/strex instructions (however, I'm not sure if makes sense to count cycles for these).

The author seems to be Etienne Sobole: http://www.linkedin.com/in/webshaker
