Signal Processing on Intel® Architecture

Simplify Your Development. Boost Performance. Scale Forward.

Overview
Documentation
Software Tools

Signal processing functions have often required special-purpose hardware such as DSPs and FPGAs. However, recent enhancements to Intel® architecture processors are providing developers an alternative; execute signal processing workloads on an Intel processor.

Signal processing on the latest Intel processors is now a viable option due to continued improvements in multi-core architectures. The increased parallelism from vector instructions, along with other continuing performance improvements, enables the efficient execution of data parallel workloads, such as digital transforms and filters. Additionally, by consolidating signal processing functions with other workloads on a Intel® multi-core processor, it is possible to save hardware costs, simplify the application development environment, and reduce time to market. This approach can be implemented in many applications in aerospace (radar, sonar), communications infrastructure (baseband processing, transcoding), media processing (transcoding), and healthcare (medical imaging).
