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 ...

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® ...

Key to efficient hardware emulation is an efficient mapping to the underlying CPU’s opcodes. Here one is free to target opcodes that may or may not have been imagined for that particular use. For ...

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 ...
