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 ...

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MulticoreWare Inc. announced the launch of their new tool, VaLVe, to enhance explicit vector programming across various architectures, enabling ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is the first article in a two-part series by Rob Farber about the challenges facing the HPC community in training people to write code and develop algorithms for current and future, ...
