  1. 1. Investigation of 8-bit Floating-Point Formats for Machine Learning

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorteknik

    Author : Theodor Lindberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Floating-Point; 8-bit floating-point; FP8; vector instructions; Machine Learning; ML; Convolutional Neural Network; CNN;

    Abstract : Applying machine learning to various applications has gained significant momentum in recent years. However, the increasing complexity of networks introduces challenges such as a larger memory footprint and decreased throughput. This thesis aims to address these challenges by exploring the use of 8-bit floating-point numbers for machine learning. READ MORE

  2. 2. VM Instruction Decoding Using C Unions in Stack and Register Architectures

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DVMT)

    Author : Kasper Strömberg Skott; [2022]
    Keywords : virtual machine; VM; interpreter; VM interpreter; VM architecture; instruction decoding; instruction dispatch; union;

    Abstract : The architecture of virtual machine (VM) interpreters has long been a subject of researchand discussion. The initial trend of stack-based interpreters was shortly thereafterchallenged by research showing the performance advantages of virtual register machines. READ MORE

  3. 3. Parallel Instruction Decoding for DSP Controllers with Decoupled Execution Units

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorteknik

    Author : Andreas Pettersson; [2019]
    Keywords : superscalar; VLIW; SIMT; computer architecture; DSP;

    Abstract : Applications run on embedded processors are constantly evolving. They are for the most part growing more complex and the processors have to increase their performance to keep up. In this thesis, an embedded DSP SIMT processor with decoupled execution units is under investigation. READ MORE

  4. 4. Packet Ray Tracing with the ARM NEON Architecture

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Gustaf Waldemarson; [2014]
    Keywords : Packet Ray Tracing; ARM; NEON; SIMD; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The ray tracing algorithm has long been used to create near photorealistic images and even simple ray tracers can simulate effects such as shadows, reflections and refractions where other methods struggle. Today, the state-of-the-art CPU ray tracers are typically those that are able to efficiently leverage datalevel parallelism at the instruction level by using SIMD extensions to allow the processor to trace multiple rays simultaneously, rather than one at a time.

  5. 5. Amazing Trace

    University essay from Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Wilhelm Äretun; [2009]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This paper describes the implementation of an execution history, called "Amazing Trace", that entails decoding and analyzing a recorded instruction trace, and in particular the design and implementation of a data structure which can encapsulate the entire state of the target system, including memory and registers, over time, and to do this efficiently because the trace buffer can contain data for hundreds of thousands of instructions. The Amazing Trace is also integrated in the IAR Embedded Workbench C-SPYDebugger, such that the history can be traversed both forwards and backwards while inspecting the full target state through the normal debugger windows.
