A Defense-Inspired Benchmark Suite

This work previews the MilSpec suite, a diverse collection of benchmarks targeting heterogeneous embedded/edge systems. These end-to-end and kernel-level benchmarks are inspired by defense-related applications and applicable to the broader system design space. They exercise a wide range of computational capabilities, such as signal processing, image processing/computer vision, and matrix-based computation, which are particularly relevant for modern embedded applications that must process large amounts of data at the edge.
