Modern processors provide tremendous computing power by integrating multiple cores, each with a vector processing unit. This paper reviews some studies on exploiting single instruction multiple date （SIMD） capacity of processors to improve the performance of tree search, and proposes several improvement methods on reported SIMD tree search algorithms. Based on blocking tree structure, blocking for memory alignment and dynamic blocking prefetch are proposed to optimize the overhead of memory access. Furthermore, as a way of non-linear loop unrolling, the search branch unwinding shows that the number of branches can exceed the data width of SIMD instructions in the SIMD search algorithm. The experiments suggest that blocking optimized SIMD tree search algorithm can achieve 1.6 times response speed faster than the un-optimized algorithm.展开更多

The architecture comprises a Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) DSP core and three coprocessors that are used for synchronization, FFT and channel decoder. In this MIMO OFDM system, the Zero Correlation Zone (ZCZ) code is used as the synchronization word preamble of packet in the physical layer in order to avoid the interference from other transmitting antennas. Furthermore, a simple channel estimation algorithm is proposed which is appropriate for the SIMD DSP computation.展开更多

Although SIMD instructions are useful in multimedia applications, most compilers do not have good support for SIMD instructions. This paper focuses on SIMD instructions generation for media processors. We present an efficient code optimization approach that is integrated into a retargetable C compiler. SIMD instructions are generated by finding and combining the same operations in programs. Experimental results for the UltraSPARC VIS instruction set show that a speedup factor up to 2.639 is obtained.展开更多
