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

The Cell processor consists of a general-purpose POWERPC processor core connected to eight special-purpose DSP cores. These DSP cores, which IBM calls "synergistic processing elements" (SPE), but I'm ...

Developed to eliminate the issues faced when using a pure SIMD architecture, modern mixed-mode solutions provide a robust platform for vision-processing applications. These devices can be used for ...

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 ...

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 ...

The number of distinct ARM Instruction Set Architectures (ISA) versions has slowly increased, with Arm adding a new version every few years. The oldest ISA version in common use today is ARMv6, with ...
