ConsumerBench is a suite of benchmarks that allows the user to approximate the performance of processors in digital still cameras, printers, and other embedded systems that handle digital imaging tasks. Its four benchmark kernels include the following:

	Image Compression and Decompression These tests are comprised of the industry standard JPEG compression and decompression algorithms. The EEMBC benchmarks provide standardization of the JPEG options as well as the input data set to ensure level comparisons.
	Color Filtering and Conversion These tests include a high pass grey-scale filter, as well as RGB-to-CMYK and RGB-to-YIQ color conversions.

ConsumerBench Benchmark Scores
Since the introduction of ConsumerBench Version 1.1, scores for approximately 60 processor/compiler combinations tested against this suite have been certified and published. View ConsumerBench benchmark scores.

EEMBC benchmark characterization data allows designers to better understand how to interpret EEMBC benchmark scores relative to certain processor characteristics. The Kiviat graph above, which visualizes multivariable data in a way that easily reveals program behavior, shows workload characteristics for the RGB-to-CMYK Conversion benchmark within ConsumerBench 1.1.
