AltiVec engine advances code performance with 172 GFLOPs of vector processing
Running on the next-generation AltiVec engine, the signal-processing libraries allow customers to realize super-computing performance from Freescale’s QorIQ T Series processors while staying within the size, weight and power constraints of embedded computing.
The AltiVec engine is a distinguishing feature of Freescale’s QorIQ T Series, offering 172 GFLOPS of vector processing, which is more than 7x greater performance than Freescale’s previous AltiVec-enabled device. AltiVec technology addresses high-bandwidth data processing and algorithmic-intensive computations for applications such as networking, medical and industrial imaging, printing and aerospace and defense. With the engine’s single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) signal processing, customers can improve the performance of their new or pre-existing AltiVec code, while building smarter and more capable autonomous equipment.
The Mentor Embedded Performance Library for Freescale’s AltiVec technology is available now in binary form for download at no cost. Easier to use than ever, this rich software helps increase developer productivity and speed product development.
