About the Grindermark™
The Grindermark™ is a single-number score that EEMBC provides, in addition to scores based on individual benchmark applications within its GrinderBench suite, to enhance the presentation of comparative data on Java platform performance. The bigger the Grindermark score, the better. The Grindermark is the geometric mean of the five benchmark tests included in the GrinderBench suite. Grindermark numbers are intended to provide a first-order representation of Java platform performance in tasks related to Java applications. The detailed scores on individual benchmarks will continue to offer the highest value to system designers, allowing comparison of the individual applications that are specific to their designs.

The GrinderBench scores appearing on this page and elsewhere on www.grinderbench.com are not directly comparable with the EEMBC benchmark scores published in March 2004 for the Sun Microsystems Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) Reference Implementation and CLDC HotSpot Implementation nor with any other scores that were generated with EEMBC's first-generation mobile Java benchmarks. EEMBC's first-generation mobile Java benchmarks used a benchmarking methodology which is substantially different from the methodology used in the current GrinderBench benchmarks.
