Wanted: Beta Testers for New Floating-Point Benchmark Suite

After nearly two years of debate, definition, and development, the EEMBC FPMark™ benchmark suite is nearly complete. Although details of this suite are still top-secret, FPMark is an extensive collection of tests that will encompass the floating-point processing capability of devices ranging from 16-bit microcontrollers to high-end, turbo-charged, multicore processors. EEMBC is looking for a few individuals to help with the final testing process. If you are interested, please contact Markus Levy.


EEMBC Welcomes Adapteva to Its Membership

Adapteva, a leading provider of energy efficient and scalable multicore microprocessor IP, has joined the EEMBC Consumer subcommittee. Within this subcommittee, the working groups are focused on developing mobile device benchmarks, especially in the area of smartphone and tablet benchmarking, as well as general-purpose Android-based applications. Adapteva’s membership in EEMBC will allow the company to utilize these benchmarks, as well as EEMBC CoreMark®, to validate and publicize the performance of its microprocessor technology.


MultiBench® Licensing Price Reduction

If you’ve been considering the use of the EEMBC MultiBench suite, we have just reduced the licensing price by about 30%. As a reminder, MultiBench is used for the evaluation of scalable symmetrical multicore processor (SMP) architectures with shared memory. The suite’s individual benchmarks targets data decomposition, the processing of multiple data streams, and multiple workload processing. Contact Markus Levy for more information.
