Part 2 shows how the C2R C-to-RTL compiler was used to customize and validate the datapath. Programmable architectures, including micro-coded data-parallel accelerators, are the backbone processing ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
