EEMBC是嵌入式微处理器基准协会(Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium)的简称，负责研发并验证实际使用基准与基准分数，协助研发人员为自己的系统选择合适的嵌入式处理器。每一种提交给EEMBC评比的处理器，都会以各种参数仿真不同的工作负荷及能力进行测试，如通讯、网络、消费性应用、办公室自动化、汽车/工业应用、嵌入式Java及微处理器相关应用等领域。EEMBC的成员涵盖各家顶尖的半导体、知识产权及编译程序厂商，它不但建立了基准标准，也透过自家的技术中心提供验证基准的结果。

EEMBC, the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium, is a non-profit corporation formed to standardize on real-world, embedded benchmark software to help designers select the right embedded processors for their systems. The result is a collection of "algorithms" and "applications" organized into benchmark suites targeting telecommunications, networking, digital media, Java, automotive/industrial, consumer, and office equipment products. An additional suite of benchmarks, called MultiBench, specifically targets the capabilities of multicore processors based on an SMP architecture. These benchmarks may be obtained by joining EEMBC's open membership or through a corporate or university licensing program. The EEMBC Technology Center manages development of new benchmark software and certifies benchmark test results. Scores for devices that have been tested and certified can be searched from the Benchmark Score pages.
