3.4. Advanced SIMD architecture
The Advanced SIMD architecture extension is a media and signal
processing architecture that adds instructions targeted primarily
at audio, video, 3-D graphics, image, and speech processing.
Note
The Advanced SIMD architecture extension, its associated implementations,
and supporting software, are commonly referred to as NEON MPE.
NEON MPE includes both Advanced SIMD instructions and the
ARM VFPv3 instructions. All Advanced SIMD instructions and VFP instructions
are available in both ARM and Thumb states.
See the ARM Architecture Reference Manual for
more information.
See the Cortex-A9 NEON Media Processing Engine
Technical Reference Manual for implementation-specific
information.
