EEMBC Benchmark Certifications for Members and Customers
|
Important Note:
Others may claim to have "de facto industry standards",
but all that really means is that they created the benchmarks themselves
- without an industry-standards organization behind them!
"De Facto" is another term for "proprietary."
Benchmark score certification:
Only the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) has
over 50 members.
Only EEMBC uses
public meetings with peer review of the benchmark source code,
agreed-upon rules,
and an outside third party,
ECL,
who certifies the benchmark scores.
Do not be mislead
- only EEMBC's benchmarks
are derived from real application algorithms instead of being
simply fragments of code.
And only EEMBC
has the full faith and
trust of the industry,
its customers,
and the Press.
Benchmark score certification is an integral part of EEMBC's
benchmark process and credibility.
Any published benchmark score
that bears the trademarked EEMBC name or logo must undergo the strict certification process of the
EEMBC Certification Labs (ECL).
Once ECL has finished a certification, the vendor is free to
publish (or not)
those
specific benchmark scores.
ECL was founded to certify for EEMBC members and licensees,
but ECL is a public service that will perform testing with
any processor or platform.
For example, a designer or manufacturer of any processor board may want to obtain EEMBC benchmark scores for their
specific implementation.
ECL's main goal is to serve Designers of embedded systems, Architects, Developers, Managers,
and Purchasers by providing credible information about
a processor's performance.
The Certification Process:
The Certification process is the heart of ECL.
Consisting of over 50 seperate steps, checks, analysis points, and verifications,
Certification is the scientific re-creation of benchmark scores, code and data size,
and (in the near future) power consumption figures.
This is done on a given configuration (processor, board, environment, software tool chain),
which is disclosed to the world upon completion of Certification at the request of the submitting company.
ECL's Certification Process is the industry-standard,
accepted by all 53 EEMBC members as the best method to assure their customers
(purchasers of processors and/or intellectual property) that these scores are trustworthy.
The certification process verifies the repeatability of results and assures the integrity of EEMBC.
EEMBC does not allow any public scores without ECL certification.
Experience:
ECL provides Testing and Certification Services on processors,
software tools,
operating systems,
platforms,
and entire computing systems.
ECL sees more processors
(microprocessors, microcontrollers, and DSP's)
than anyone else on Earth, and hence has more experience than anyone with their
software development tools.
Customers hire ECL for our expertise, confidentiality, business, marketing,
and technical insights.
At the conclusion of our process, they may earn a
Seal of Approval.

Consortium Consultation
|
| ECL
is working closely with select information appliance vendors to create the
next certified industry-standard benchmark suite for these important new
consumer products. ECL's engineers have vast experience testing Unix, Windows
NT, Linux, and of course dozens of embedded RTOS's and compilers. Our Compliance
Test team works with existing experts in ECL personnel have been involved
with EEMBC, SPEC, BAPCo, and other industry standards initiatives. If you
are starting a group, or need advice on an existing consortium, or industry-standards
organization, let ECL provide sage, time-tested advice on such matters as
legal and accounting council selection, by-law creation, organization structure,
logistics, marketing and promotion, or forming alliances within or across
industries. |
