IAR Systems today announces that its development tool suite IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM has been selected by STMicroelectronics for its recently published outstanding scores on the CoreMark benchmarks. The score 3.37 CoreMarks/MHz is achieved using the latest version version 6.50 of IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM with STMicroelectronics’ STM32F417IGt6 microcontroller running at an operating frequency of 168 MHz from internal flash memory.

Compared to the previous world-leading version of IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM, these results are improved by as much as 13 percent. The latest record confirms that the combination of IAR Embedded Workbench and STM32 F4 MCUs provides the fastest performing code, pulling even further ahead of the competition. Developers choosing to work with development tools from IAR Systems can be sure to gain from the best optimizations currently available on the market.

STMicroelectronics’ STM32 F4 series is targeted for demanding applications such as consumer audio accessories, industrial motor control, power management, medical equipment and security. Based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core with Floating Point Unit, it features low-power consumption combined with advanced design and high-performance DSP capabilities.

IAR Embedded Workbench is a complete embedded development tool suite incorporating powerful compiler and debugger tools in a user-friendly integrated development environment. Optimizations are performed on multiple levels, core- and target-specific as well as generic.
