EEMBC Update - February 2010


EEMBC's Shay Gal-On will join David Kleidermacher (Chief Technology Officer, Green Hills Software) in presenting the tutorial "How to Choose a Multicore Processor for Embedded Networking Devices" at the Embedded Systems Conference and Multicore Expo. The tutorial will take place Monday (April 26, 2010) 1:00pm - 5:00pm. Note: Friday February 19 is the last day to register to take advantage of the early bird pricing.

On February 24th, Shay Gal-On (EEMBC) and Michael Githens (Ixia) will co-present "Analyzing a Platform's TCP Performance and Compliance" at the Ethernet Summit" in San Jose. We will also be demonstrating a new benchmark at this event so be sure to stop by our booth.

EEMBC adds blog to the website
Come see what we've got to say; we'd also like to hear from you. To post, click on Blog menu, then click login. You can choose to post a blog for EEMBC, Coremark or both. Only EEMBC members can post, but anybody is invited to comment and the dialog will be informative.

We welcome two new board members this month: Andes Technology from Taiwan and Advanced Digital Chips from Korea.

Free EnergyBench available with licensing of any EEMBC benchmark suite.

   • MIPS 34K @ 1MHz with gcc 4.5.0 (running in simulation)
   • Texas Instruments OMAP3530 @ 500MHz with GCC4.3.3
   • Freescale iMX25 @ 398MHz with GCC4.2.0 20070413
   • Texas Instruments MSP430FG4618 @ 8 MHz with IAR C/C++
      for MSP430 4.21.2.20066
   • Atmel ATmega644 @ 20 MHz with avr-gcc-4.3.2
   • Tilera TILEPro64 (TLR36480BG-9C) @ 866MHz with GCCEDG gcc 3.2 mode (tile-cc 2.1)

B. We've added a new feature to allow you to vote on scores. Do you agree with the score? Could it have been run with a better configuration (i.e. different compiler, better compiler flags)? View the CoreMark scores and tell us what you think (look for the Thumbs-up and Thumbs-down symbols).
