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 ...

While most articles in this section discuss the reprogramming of graphics processors, other large arrays of processing elements are available as standard-product ICs for other applications. In some ...

For compute-intensive applications like 5G cellular and machine learning DNN/CNN, Xilinx’s new vector processor AI Engines are an array of VLIW SIMD high-performance processors that deliver up to 8X ...

The maturity level of RISC-V and the availability of domain-specific instruction set extensions, like vector processing, make RISC-V a good candidate for supporting the integration of specialized ...

The word supercomputer gets thrown around quite a bit. The original Cray-1, for example, operated at about 150 MIPS and had about eight megabytes of memory. A modern Intel i7 CPU can hit almost ...
