'NEON Programmer's Guide' now available

Less than one minute read time.


The NEON™ Programmer's Guide provides information about how to use the ARM Advanced SIMD instructions to improve the performance of intensive data processing applications running on ARM processors. Read this guide in collaboration with the Cortex™-A Series Programmer's Guide for general information about programming for ARM processors.

The document is only available to registered ARM customers. See, NEON™ Programmer's Guide.

    Really good to see this document become available. I was involved in reviewing it before publication.

    NEON is such a powerful tool which is often poorly understood. But, as this document shows, there's a wealth of resources available to start programming with NEON. The table of contents from the document gives an idea of the breadth which it covers:

    • Introduction to data processing with SIMD
    • Fundamentals of NEON technology
    • Architecture support for NEON technology
    • Compiling NEON Instructions
    • GCC command line options
    • Vectorization
    • NEON libraries
    • NEON intrinsics
    • Detecting presence of a NEON unit
    • NEON Instruction Set Architecture
    • Optimizing NEON Code
    • Scheduling
    • NEON Code Examples
    • NEON Microarchitecture
    • Operating System Support
    • NEON and VFP Instruction Summary.

    I would really encourage anyone with an interested in NEON to have a good look at it.
