DSPben

DSPben is a benchmark suite designed to evaluate the performance of digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms on various hardware platforms. It provides a standardized set of test cases that cover a broad range of common DSP operations, such as filtering, FFTs, and matrix operations. The goal of DSPben is to enable objective comparisons between different processors, FPGAs, and software implementations, allowing developers to assess the efficiency and suitability of hardware for specific DSP tasks.

The benchmark suite includes detailed descriptions of each test case, along with the expected results and performance metrics. This allows for consistent and reproducible testing. DSPben aims to capture real-world DSP workloads, making the performance evaluations relevant to practical applications. By using DSPben, researchers and engineers can identify performance bottlenecks, optimize algorithm implementations, and make informed decisions about hardware selection for DSP-intensive systems. The suite is often used in academic research and by hardware vendors to demonstrate the capabilities of their products.
