BDTI Benchmark Suites
BDTI benchmark suites are recognized world-wide by processor vendors and systems developers alike as the only vendor-independent means to understand the relative capabilities of processing devices. BDTI has over a decade of experience in developing and implementing signal processing benchmarks for chips, systems, and tools.
BDTI DSP Kernel Benchmarks™
This suite includes 12 key digital signal processing algorithm kernel benchmarks, such as FIR filters, a Viterbi decoder, and an FFT. Used to generate the BDTImark2000™, a composite DSP speed metric.

BDTI Benchmark Information Service
The BDTI Benchmark Information Service™ provides industry-recognized BDTI Certified™ results for over 40 processors on the BDTI DSP Kernel Benchmarks™. Delivered as an annual subscription service, with regular updates for new and newly-benchmarked processors. Subscribers have immediate, 24/7 access to results when they’re needed.
Bundled with the BDTI Benchmark Analysis Tool™ (BAT). A unique tool for analyzing processor performance, the BAT enables users to:
- Quickly compare the performance of new or planned processors to dozens of competitor processors and cores.
- Vary weightings on specific benchmarks, creating what-if scenarios.
- Use projected clock speeds, pricing, and energy consumption data to predict the future competitive landscape.

BDTI DSP Kernel Benchmarks Engineering Toolkit
The BDTI DSP Kernel Benchmarks Engineering Toolkit™ combines the BDTI DSP Kernel Benchmarks, the industry’s most reliable benchmarks for signal processing applications, with a rich library of competitive information and a flexible tool for making comparisons and weighing design trade-offs.
The BDTI DSP Kernel Benchmarks Engineering Toolkit includes three complementary tools that enable engineers and engineering managers quickly and accurately assess chips, silicon IP, and development tools:
- The BDTI DSP Kernel Benchmarks™ Specification. The BDTI DSP Kernel Benchmarks Specification provides reference code, a detailed written specification with guidelines for coding and optimization, and test vectors. The Specification gives users what they need to implement these industry-standard benchmarks on their own or their vendors’ products.
- The BDTI Benchmark Information Service™. The Benchmark Information Service delivers a comprehensive library of up-to-date BDTI Certified™ benchmark results to enable broad comparisons.
- The BDTI Benchmark Analysis Tool™. The Benchmark Analysis Tool enables users to quickly create sophisticated competitive and what-if analyses to compare the capabilities of their design with the current and future competitive landscape.

Analysis Reports
BDTI reports are highly regarded throughout the industry for their technical depth and detail, as well as for the richness of their insight. BDTI reports enable companies to save time and money in evaluating DSP technology for their products.
BDTI Benchmark Results for TI’s OMAP3530—Coming Soon!
A new benchmark report from BDTI provides hands-on results for H.264 video decoding performance and power consumption on the Texas Instruments’ flagship application processor.
The OMAP3530 has been benchmarked using the BDTI Solution Benchmark for H.264 Decoders, a standardized set of test streams, test profiles (frame size, resolution, and bit rate), and performance metrics. Power consumption, obtained through rigorous lab testing, is also included.
FPGAs for DSP, Second Edition
In-depth analysis of the DSP-oriented features of devices from the leading FPGA vendors, Xilinx and Altera, as well as benchmark results obtained from the BDTI Communications Benchmark (OFDM)™. The benchmark results compare DSP-capable FPGAs with high-end DSP processors. Click here for more information about FPGAs for DSP, Second Edition or request sample excerpts from the report.
