Altium PCB Designer

Altium Designer has been used to make at least one of the circuit boards inside your favorite piece of electronics. It's an industry-leading solution to build complex PCBs by automating circuit paths and ensuring that signal integrity and design rules are followed in the design. Our test measures how long it takes for Altium PCB Designer to load a project, run various operations on it, including autorouting, design rule check and finally releasing the whole design to manufacturing.

Text Recognition OCR — Google Tesseract

Optical Character Recognition, or OCR, is the task of turning text in scanned images or photos into actual characters for archival, further processing, or editing. While most OCR software is single-threaded, Google's Tesseract engine can operate on multiple pages of a scanned document at once, spreading the load over several processor cores. The software, which is considered one of the most accurate open-source OCR packages available, automatically runs a spellcheck on the initial recognition results, which adds to the complexity of the workload.
