• An industry-standard tool for analyzing, tuning, and validating embedded processors, compilers, and systems
• Predicts performance and energy consumption in real-world applications
• Runs natively on any processor, allowing you to make impartial comparisons among a wide range of devices
• Works with silicon or simulations of IP processors
• 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

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
• Each suite generates between 4 and 69 discrete benchmark scores

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
