SIMD: parallelism for vectors. Computer scientists have a fancy name for vector instructions: SIMD, or “Single Instruction Multiple Data.” If we think of a regular add instruction as a SISD ...

At the heart of the design of an NPU lies an architecture centered around parallelism and data locality. Unlike general-purpose CPUs and GPUs, which are designed to handle a broad range of tasks ...

SIMD/SIMT. A third level of parallelism happens at the instruction level. Single Instruction Multiple Data or Single Instruction Multiple Thread (SIMD/SIMT) instructions are a modern derivative of the ...

Two approaches for parallel-processing DSP cores are in the mainstream today: the very long instruction word (VLIW) and single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) architectures. The capabilities of both ...

Looking to speed up JavaScript applications, Intel is leading efforts to enable SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) capabilities in the official specification underlying JavaScript, although ...

SIMD exploits data level parallelism independent of concurrency (see the section below on multi-threaded programming). SIMD instructions are a way to execute the same instruction on multiple values at ...

Image sensors with programmable, highly parallel signal processing, so called Vision-Systems-on-Chip, perform computationally intensive tasks directly on the sensor itself. Therefore it is possible to ...

Programmable architectures, including micro-coded data-parallel accelerators, are the backbone processing engines in high performance ASICs. Traditionally, such architectures have been implemented at ...

In today’s automobiles, manufacturers competitively blend performance and custom features with cutting-edge safety technology. In today’s automobiles, manufacturers competitively blend ...
