DSP Benchmark Landscape
- Vendor benchmarks
- Most DSP processor vendors provide DSP benchmark results for their own processors and selected competitors.
- Benchmarks are generally not standardized across vendors.
- Results are not independently verified.
- EEMBC (EDN Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium)
- Consortium of semiconductor and IP vendors formed in 1998.
- Uses algorithm kernel benchmarks divided by application area (telecom, automotive, etc.)
- Vendors implement benchmarks, EEMBC verifies results.
- Benchmarks implemented in C and optimized assembly.
- Results publicly available.
