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 ...

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 ...

When there is talked about modern CPUs and GPUs the terms SIMD processor, Stream processor and Vector processor often pops up. I have been trying to figure out how these terms relate but its unclear ...

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 ...

Abstract: The ARM architecture has evolved significantly in recent years, particularly with the introduction and advancement of SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) technologies. These ...

Google, Intel, and Mozilla are developing SIMD.js, a JavaScript API for SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) calculations to boost high-performance Web applications. The API introduces new types ...

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 ...
