All major OEMs and software suppliers of the automotive industry are committed to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). A close look, though, raises questions on the demands ADAS applications ...

Modern processor architectures invariably enable the parallel execution of several operations per clock cycle. Configurable processors such as the Improv Jazz VLIW DSP allow the user to modify and ...

As we have heard time and again, one of the greatest challenges for future exascale class computing—the one that falls right under power consumption–is how codes are ever going to evolve to take ...

Compilers are programs that convert computer code written in high-level languages intelligible to humans into low-level instructions executable by machines. But there's more than one way to implement ...

[For more on this topic, see Optimizing Compilers and Embedded DSP Software and Get better DSP code from your compiler] As DSP processors become more and more powerful, the portion of code that can ...

An optimizing compiler that targets MPSoC environments should tackle a number of critical issues. Building on what was learned in Part 1 and Part 2, we first explain these issues and then study ...

A common use case for high-level synthesis (HLS) is taking 3rd party generated or legacy C/C++ algorithms and converting the algorithm to a hardware implementation using an HLS compiler. This can ...

This sponsored post from Intel highlights how today’s enterprises can achieve high levels of parallelism in large scale Python applications using the Intel Distribution for Python with Numba. The ...

Not everyone will write their own optimizing compiler from scratch, but those who do sometimes roll into it during the course ...
