Korea's Advanced Digital Chips, Inc. Joins EEMBC Board of Directors
EL DORADO HILLS, CA--(Marketwire - February 9, 2010) - The Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark
Consortium (EEMBC) today announced that Advanced Digital Chips, Inc. (ADC)
is the latest maker of embedded microprocessors to join its Board of
Directors.
Products from Korea-based ADC include 32-bit microcontrollers, multimedia
processors, and microprocessor cores. The company's high-performance chips
include processors for video, graphics, multimedia, image processing, and
general embedded applications. ADC is the inventor of a new Instruction Set
Architecture (ISA) called Extendable Instruction Set Computer (EISC), a
smaller, faster, and more cost-effective compressed code processor
architecture for embedded applications.
As a member of EEMBC's Board of Directors, ADC enjoys full voting rights on
all major issues decided by the consortium, plus full access to all of the
EEMBC® benchmarks.
"We are delighted to welcome Advanced Digital Chips to the EEMBC
membership," said EEMBC President Markus Levy. "ADC has demonstrated
expertise in quite a wide range of embedded systems, from video to cell
phones, and we look forward to the contributions the company will make as a
member of our Board of Directors."
"ADC is delighted to become a member of EEMBC's Board of Directors," said
ADC's President, Mr. K. H. Kwon. "ADC will introduce its EISC technology to
the industry with EEMBC benchmark data in two ways, first through the sale
of multimedia SoCs and microcontrollers incorporating the EISC MCU, and
secondly by licensing EISC MCU technology as IP to semiconductor foundries
and design companies. We look forward to making a significant contribution
to the growth of EISC technology."
About EEMBC
EEMBC, the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium, develops benchmark
software to help designers select the right embedded processors for their
systems. Benchmark algorithms and applications developed by EEMBC are
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. More information is available at
