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 ...

Seymour Cray loved vector supercomputers, and made the second part of that term a household word because of it. NEC, the last of the pure vector supercomputer makers, is so excited about its new ...

The crux of most supercomputers is the ability to operate on many pieces of data at once — something video cards are good at, too. Enter T1 (short for Torrent-1), a RISC-V vector inspired by the Cray ...

We caught wind of the “Aurora” Vector Engine vector processor and the “Tsubasa” system from NEC that makes use of it ahead of the SC17 supercomputer conference, and revealed everything we could find ...

The SiFive Performance P570 Gen 3 is a RISC-V out-of-order superscalar vector processor IP designed for scalable performance. SiFive says it delivers a substantial performance improvement over the ...

With four vector pipelines, Telairity Semiconductor's TVP400 combines the signal-processing features of a high-performance DSP and the control capabilities of a 32-bit microcontroller (see the figure) ...
