Suite boosts office automation
The OABench 2.0 suite consists of five benchmarks, each with its own datasets, including entirely new Bezier and Ghostscript tests.
The Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) has released OABench 2.0, a second-generation office automation benchmark suite that gives users the ability to approximate the performance of embedded microprocessors in printers, plotters and other systems that handle text and image processing tasks The OABench 2.0 suite consists of five benchmarks, each with its own datasets, including entirely new Bezier and Ghostscript tests

Development platform has educational aims
The EmbestUniversity is a teaching platform focused on embedded system development.
The new Ghostscript benchmark provides an indication of the potential performance of an embedded processor running a PostScript printer engine.
Performance is measured using nine input files reflecting different aspects of PostScript language processing, as well as six output drivers reflecting the different types of processing found in common printer engines.
The new Bezier benchmark interpolates a set of points defined by the four points of a Bezier curve and stresses the ability of embedded microprocessors to perform division, multiplication and scalar processing tasks.
In addition to these new benchmarks, OABench 2.0 has enhanced dithering, image rotation and text parsing benchmarks with new datasets; a cyclical redundancy checksum (CRC) feature for self-checking; as well as the ability to view processed output files.
