EEMBC, the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium, is a non-profit organization formed in 1997 with the aim of developing meaningful performance benchmarks for the hardware and software used in embedded systems. The goal of its members is to make EEMBC® benchmarks an industry standard for evaluating the capabilities of embedded microprocessors, compilers, and Java implementations according to objective, clearly defined, application-based criteria. A nonprofit organization (abbreviated NPO, or non-profit or not-for-profit) is an organization whose primary objective is to support some issue or matter of private interest or public concern for non-commercial purposes. ... 1997 (MCMXCVII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... A benchmark is a point of reference for a measurement. ... An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system, which is completely encapsulated by the device it controls. ... Microprocessors, including an Intel 80486DX2 and an Intel 80386 A microprocessor (abbreviated as µP or uP) is an electronic computer central processing unit (CPU) made from miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) (aka microchip or just chip). ... A compiler is a computer program that translates a computer program written in one computer language (called the source language) into an equivalent program written in another computer language (called the output or the target language). ... Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s. ...

EEMBC benchmarks aim to reflect real-world applications and the demands that embedded systems encounter in these environments. The consortium licenses "algorithms" and "applications" organized into benchmark suites targeting telecommunications, networking, network storage, digital entertainment, Java, automotive/industrial, consumer, and office equipment products, and an additional suite that allows users to observe the energy consumed by the processor when performing these algorithms and applications. Flowcharts are often used to represent algorithms. ... Telecommunication involves the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of communication. ...

Only EEMBC members are entitled to publish their benchmark test results, and they must submit these a certification lab before making the scores public.
