SD-VBS: The San Diego Vision Benchmark Suite

In the era of multi-core, computer vision has emerged as an exciting application area which promises to continue to drive the demand for both more powerful and more energy efficient processors. Although there is still a long way to go, vision has matured significantly over the last few decades, and the list of applications that are useful to end users continues to grow. The parallelism inherent in vision applications makes them a promising workload for multi-core and many-core processors.
