Both the Intel Xeon processor and the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor continue to increase in performance as each generation is developed. To gain maximum performance from these architectures, it is ...

Many high-performance DSP and general-purpose processors are equipped with SIMD (single-instruction, multiple data) hardware and instructions. SIMD enables processors to execute a single instruction ...

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 ...

Uppsala, Sweden—June 4, 2020—IAR Systems®, the future-proof supplier of software tools and services for embedded development, today announces initial support for the draft RISC-V P extension in its ...

CAMBRIDGE, England — Processor licensor ARM Holdings plc has launched a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) extension to its architecture called Neon. Neon addresses signal and media processing ...

For the majority of workloads, fiddling with assembly instructions isn’t worth it. The added complexity and code obfuscation generally outweigh the relatively modest gains. Mainly because compilers ...

Imperas simulation technology and RISC-V reference models updated to cover the RISC-V P Extension for SoC architecture exploration and early software development. RISC-V ISA (Instruction Set ...
