Abstract: The goal of this paper is to show that instruction
level parallelism (ILP) and data-level parallelism
(DLP) can be merged in a single architecture to execute
regular vectorizable code at a performance level
that can not be achieved using either paradigm on its
own. We will show that the combination of the two
techniques yields very high performance at a low cost
and a low complexity: We will show that this architecture
can reach a performance equivalent to a superscalar
processor that sustained ... (Update)
Context of citations to this paper: More
.... a vector machine uses much fewer instructions than a scalar machine (because each vector instruction specifies multiple operations) [18]. Therefore, using raw IPC as a performance measure would be meaningless. The solution is as follows. First, each program is run to...
