Understanding SIMD in Computer Architecture
1. Introduction In previous articles, we explored the concepts related to Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP). Clearly, in addition to instruction-level parallelism, processors also exhibit parallelism in other dimensions. This article presents the SIMD technology within Data Level Parallelism (DLP). First, let’s consider a question: why was data-level parallelism developed? Does relying solely on ILP have … Read more
