It describes computers with multiple processing elements that perform the same operation on multiple data simultaneously. Thus, such machines exploit data level parallelism. History The first use of SIMD instructions was in vector supercomputers of the early 1970s such as the CDC Star-100 and the Texas Instruments ASC, which could operate on a vector of data with a single instruction. Vector processing was especially popularized by Cray in the 1970s and 1980s. Vector-processing architectures are now considered separate from SIMD machines, based on the fact that vector machines processed the vectors one word at a time through pipelined processors (though still based on a single instruction), whereas modern SIMD machines process all elements of the vector simultaneously.[1] The first era of modern SIMD machines was characterized by massively parallel processing-style supercomputers such as the Thinking Machines CM-1 and CM-2. These machines had many limited-functionality processors that would work in parallel.

    Power Architecture® ISA 2.06 Stride N Prefetch Engines to Boost Application's Performance

    Power Architecture® ISA 2.06 Stride N prefetch Engines to boost Application's performance History of IBM POWER architecture: POWER stands for Performance Optimization with Enhanced RISC. Power architecture is synonymous with performance. Introduced by IBM in 1991, POWER1 was a superscalar design that implemented register renaming andout-of-order execution. In Power2, additional FP unit and caches were added to boost performance. In 1996 IBM released successor of the POWER2 called P2SC (POWER2 Super chip), which is a single chip implementation of POWER2. P2SC is used to power the 30-node IBM Deep Blue supercomputer that beat world Chess Champion Garry Kasparov at chess in 1997. Power3, first 64 bit SMP, featured a data prefetch engine, non-blocking interleaved data cache, dual floating point execution units, and many other goodies. Power3 also unified the PowerPC and POWER Instruction set and was used in IBM's RS/6000 servers. The POWER3-II reimplemented POWER3 using copper interconnects, delivering double the performance at about the same price. Power4 was the first Gigahertz dual core processor launched in 2001 which was awarded the MicroProcessor Technology Award in recognition of its innovations and technology exploitation. Power5 came in with symmetric multi threading (SMT) feature to further increase application's performance. In 2004, IBM with 15 other companies founded Power.org. Power.org released the Power ISA v2.03 in September 2006, Power ISA v.2.04 in June 2007 and Power ISA v.2.05 with many advanced features such as VMX, virtualization, variable length encoding, hyper visor functionality, logical partitioning, virtual page handling, Decimal Floating point and so on which further boosted the architecture leadership in the market place and POWER5+, Cell, POWER6, PA6T, Titan are various compliant cores.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.

Multi-Platform Auto-Vectorization Dorit Naishlos Richard Henderson IBM Haifa Labs Red Hat [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. The recent proliferation of the Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) model has lead to a wide variety of implementations. These have been incorporated into many platforms, from gaming machines and em- bedded DSPs to general purpose architectures. In this paper we present an automatic vectorizer as implemented in GCC - the most multi-targetable compiler available today. We discuss the considerations that are involved in developing a multi-platform vectorization technology, and demonstrate how our vectorization scheme is suited to a variety of SIMD architectures.

ATCA was mainly driven applications as a standard for industrial PCs and as a by the Telecom industry. MicroTCA is a more cost standard for front-end instrumentation, e.g. by means of efficient spin off from ATCA based on AMC, the ATCA the transparent optical PCI/CPCI Bridge MXI-4 from mezzanine card standard.

In both application areas increasing Instruments as the main driving force, PICMG also performance requirements ask for a replacement of the defined CompactPCI Express (PICMG EXP.0) as a parallel CPCI bus by a backplane based on high speed downward compatible extension of CompactPCI.
