Development tools are the highest performing on the market

Through partnerships with a number of microcontroller manufacturers, IAR Systems is able to supply a wide range of ARM Cortex-M-based processor families with it's development toolchain. This provides customers with more choice. 

“The latest benchmark for the new ARM Cortex-M7 core is an additional proof of our world-leading performance for ARM,” says Thomas Sporrong, Global FAE Manager, IAR Systems. “While providing advanced optimisations on multiple levels, our tools are easy to use and offer smart features such as runtime analysis, data visualisation, code profiling and integrated monitoring of power consumption. This lets our customers create the fastest, most compact applications and helps them keep up with project deadlines.”

“Together with ARM and their new high-performance core we have reached a new milestone for ARM Cortex-M processors with a score above 5CoreMarks/MHz. This not only shows the capabilities of our optimisation team, but also the power of strong partnerships,” says Stefan Skarin, CEO, IAR Systems. “Anyone looking at working with a microcontroller based on any of the ARM Cortex-M cores can be sure we are committed to supporting them with high-performance tools, a powerful ecosystem and a dedicated support and sales team eager to be of service.”

EEMBC, a non-profit industry association for embedded microprocessor benchmarks, developed CoreMark. Coremark, which is designed to test the functionality of a processor core, produces a single-number score allowing users to make comparisons between processors.
