EEMBC benchmarking is the topic of three high-profile conference 
presentations taking place this month in Silicon Valley.

Fall Processor Forum - October 6

"Benchmarking x86 Processors for Embedded Markets" at the Fall Processor 
Forum in San Jose on October 6 brings together industry leaders for a 
spirited discussion of the comparative benefits of application-based versus 
synthetic benchmarks, and the specific advantages of benchmarks funded by 
industry consortia such as EEMBC versus private organizations. EEMBC 
President Markus Levy will be among the participants, which are also 
expected to include representatives of AMD, Synchromesh Computing, 
Transmeta, and VIA. Kevin Krewell, Microprocessor Report editor-in-chief, 
will lead the discussion, which begins at 4:35 p.m. on Wednesday. Further

ARM Developers' Conference - October 20 and 21

Markus Levy will describe the performance merits of the ARM11 processor 
family in "Analyzing ARM Performance with the EEMBC Benchmark Suites," a 
presentation at the ARM Developers' Conference in Santa Clara. Levy's 
presentation, which will detail the performance tradeoffs associated with 
system features such as different cache sizes and memory bus speeds, begins 
at 10 a.m. on October 20. The following day, Levy and ARM's Graham 
Wilkinson will show in "Grinding Up Java" how EEMBC's Java benchmarks can 
be used to analyze the performance of Java-based games in SmartPhones, in 
turn providing a better user experience and a greater return for network 
operators charging for this functionality. This second talk begins October 
21 at 10:50 a.m. Further information: http://www.arm.com/developersconference/.
