EEMBC benchmark software helps predict the performance of embedded processors and memory subsystems in a range of applications.
- An industry-standard tool for analyzing, tuning, and validating embedded processors, compilers, and systems
- Predicts performance and energy consumption in real-world applications
- Allows you to make impartial comparisons among a wide range of devices
- Supports processors in silicon or simulator format
- Hundreds of certified EEMBC score reports allow you to compare your results with data on other processors
Running EEMBC benchmarks
- Each EEMBC Benchmark Software suite is designed to run natively on any processor, without an underlying operating system
- You can port benchmarks to any platform or operating system
- Integrated supervisory software (the test harness) provides launching and control of benchmarks using personal computer or workstation running Windows, Linux, or Unix
- Quick Start Guide and technical support available. more»
Each benchmark suite licensed includes a detailed porting guide as well as two hours of free technical support by phone or email. Any additional support will be billed at the rate of $150 per hour.
How EEMBC scores work
- All published scores available for download free from www.eembc.org
- Published scores are certified by the EEMBC Technology Center
- Aggregate scores enable rapid evaluation of device performance
- Detailed scores from each suite provide deeper insights into how devices will perform within given application
How to get started
- License one or more benchmark suites
- Become member of EEMBC Board of Directors
- Become a member of application-focused EEMBC subcommittees
