Hertfordshire-based ARC International has added single instruction multiple data (SIMD) processor extensions to its Risc processor cores. “It’s aimed at media processing,” Peter Hutton v-p engineering ...
Abstract: The ARM architecture has evolved significantly in recent years, particularly with the introduction and advancement of SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) technologies. These ...
Freescale is to add vector processing into its multicore QorIQ family, and introduces two industrial processors with Ethernet. Called AltiVec, the single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) vector ...
The Cell processor consists of a general-purpose POWERPC processor core connected to eight special-purpose DSP cores. These DSP cores, which IBM calls "synergistic processing elements" (SPE), but I'm ...
The MIPS SIMD architecture (MSA) module allows efficient parallel processing of vector operations. This functionality is of growing importance across a range of applications. For consumer electronics ...
As mentioned, SIMD processors have limited efficiency for the final image-processing steps that are either mainly serialized or require floating-point arithmetic. Additionally, when compared with ...
First, architecture basics are detailed with information on the register sets, data types, and memory and instruction formats. Next, instruction set extensions are detailed, which include Intel® ...
Is low-level programming a sin or a virtue? It depends. When programming for using vector processing on a modern processor, ideally I’d write some code in my favorite language and it would run as fast ...
