CONSORTIUM READIES BENCHMARKS FOR MULTIPROCESSING SYSTEMS

The Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium plans to roll out new benchmarks for multiprocessing systems, multicore processors, and multithreaded processors. The goal is to provide an accurate indication of the value of transitioning from a single-core to a multicore system, as well as to determine the impact of system-level bottlenecks. The new benchmark software will initially support symmetrical multicore processors with shared memory and will use a thread-based API to establish a common programming model. The benchmarks will be available for licensing this year. For more information, check out www.eembc.com.
