Speeding Up AI With Vector Instructions

Uses, challenges and tradeoffs in working with vector engines.

Semiconductor Engineering

 

A search is underway across the industry to find the best way to speed up machine learning applications, and optimizing hardware for vector instructions is gaining traction as a key element in that effort.
Vector instructions are a class of instructions that enable parallel processing of data sets. An entire array of integers or floating point numbers is processed in a single operation, eliminating the loop control mechanism typically found in processing arrays. That, in turn, improves both performance and power efficiency…
