Image processing is almost entirely integer, so that is a pretty good metric to use. The Atom in the classmates is around 3000 MIPs.

Thanks for the benchmarks... I presume the 800 MIPs is referring to the cRIO II right? I tested the example rebound rumble vision processing code on the regular cRIO and found it took 80-110ms per frame to process. I did not test this on the cRIO II though. If I understand correctly image processing *on the cRIO* is almost entirely integer, while processing using openCV on a classmate would not need this kind of optimization.
