;  ======== _load ========
;  This function simulates a load on the DSP by executing N * loopCount
;  instructions, where loopCount is the input parameter to load().
;
;      void _load(int loopCount)
;
;  The loop is using 8 instructions. One instruction for sub, nop and
;  b, plus nop 5. The extra nop added after sub is to make the number
;  of instructions in the loop a power of 2.
;

        nop
        shru b0,3,b0            ; (loop counter)= (# loops)/8
