Dear,
I am developing projcet using cortex-A8, I optimize some algorithm code on cortex-A8 cpu.
The code shall be ported to cortex-A15 in near future, I got some information about BEON and VFP from website,the different NEON / VFP version betweem cortex-A8 and cortex-a15.
cortex-a8: SIMD/VFPv3
cortex-a15:SIMD2/VFPv4
could you tell me the detailed difference of noen version between cortex-A8 and cortex-a15?
Thank you in advance.
BRS,
Meng
some complements: algorithm is optimized by NEON instrution.
Thanks again.
Hi Meng,
ARMv7-A/R Architecture Reference Manual, section A1.4.1 "Instruction set architecture extensions". Both Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A15 implement the non-trapping variants.
Really simply put, SIMDv2 and VFPv4 has a fused multiply-accumulate and IEEE754-2008 half-precision (16-bit) floating point support. That's the big, big differences.
Ta,
Matt
