Good benchmarks are essential for evaluating and comparing technologies, for making informed decisions, and for developing credible marketing programs. But not all benchmarks are created equal, and using the wrong benchmarks can result in poor decisions, ineffective marketing, and failed products.

BDTI has over a decade of experience in developing and implementing signal processing benchmarks for chips, systems, and tools. We are the only vendor-independent source for signal processing benchmarks. We've benchmarked the signal-processing performance of DSP processors, general-purpose processors, multi-core processors, and reconfigurable cores, among other targets. If you use BDTI's benchmarks, you'll be confident that you're working with technically sound and unbiased performance data.

BDTI provides a variety of benchmark suites. To learn more about BDTI's benchmarks, please choose a benchmark suite from the table below.
