Sourcery VSIPL++ HPEC Benchmark Performance

Abstract

Sourcery VSIPL++ is a high-performance, parallel, multi-platform implementation of the VSIPL++ standard, an open-architecture API for vector, signal, and image processing. Sourcery VSIPL++ allows users to develop signal-processing applications that are portable across multiple platforms and scalable across different machine sizes. This reduces program risk by avoiding lock-in to a particular vendor, platform, or technology. It allows programs to choose the best available commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technology and still take advantage of the technology refresh cycle. It lowers schedule pressure by enabling development to start on low-cost commodity systems before embedded systems are even available and by allowing development to initially focus on correctness of serial algorithms before optimizing for parallel performance
