      Contemporary Vector Processors (VPs) are de-signed either for short vector lengths, e.g., Fujitsu A64FX with 512-bit ARM SVE vector support, or long vectors, e.g., NEC Aurora Tsubasa with 16Kbits Maximum Vector Length ...
    • Efficient direct convolution using long SIMD instructions 

      Limas Santana, Alexandre de; Armejach Sanosa, Adrià; Casas, Marc (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2023)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      This paper demonstrates that state-of-the-art proposals to compute convolutions on architectures with CPUs supporting SIMD instructions deliver poor performance for long SIMD lengths due to frequent cache conflict misses. ...
