Green Hills Software, the largest independent software vendor for the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced industry-leading processor performance for the new ARMv8-R architecture. The Green Hills Optimising C/C++ Compilers achieved class-leading benchmark scores for ARM® Cortex®-R processors, as published by ARM Ltd., and certified by the EEMBC® consortium. The Cortex-R52 processor is the first instantiation of the ARMv8-R architecture and targets a diverse range of systems that demand advanced safety features with real-time efficient execution. The Green Hills compilers unlock these hardware capabilities for maximum performance and functional safety for next-generation microcontroller applications ranging from surgical automation to industrial safety to automotive powertrain.
Microprocessor manufacturers publish certified EEMBC benchmarks to showcase the performance of their processors on a wide range of real-world applications. They have chosen to publish with Green Hills compilers more than twice as many times over the nearest competing compiler. On the Cortex-R52 FPGA system, the certified AutoMark score is 1.36094 on the AutoBench 1.1 benchmark suite. AutoBench 1.1 contains 16 different algorithms used in automotive applications such as angle-to-time conversion, bit manipulation, road speed calculation, FIR filter and tooth-to-spark.
