Measuring SMP

With symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) being asked to answer the hardware's challenge of power consumption and design cost, directly comes the question of logical vs. physical performance from the software designer. This talk takes a peak into the ongoing work inside www.eembc.org to bring a cross-platform industry standard benchmark suite for SMP devices. The comparison with uniprocessors, the challenge of portability and the layers of abstraction needed to show that your SMP device is the best!
