### Benchmarks
## Benchmarks and Tests
We are providing the following benchmarks with HPVM:
* Select benchmarks from the Parboil benchmark suite, located under [test/parboil](/hpvm/test/parboil).
* An edge detection pipeline benchmark, located under [test/pipeline](/hpvm/test/pipeline).
* A Camera ISP pipeline, curtosy of our collaborators at [Harvard](http://vlsiarch.eecs.harvard.edu), located under [test/cava](/hpvm/test/pipeline).
We are also providing [unit tests](/hpvm/test/unitTests) and [regression tests](/hpm/test/regressionTests).
