Ceva s Ceva-XC DSP core employs the company s Ceva-X architecture to support 3.5 and 4G wireless designs. The new architecture accommodates one, two, or four vector-communication units alongside a single general computational unit to provide hardware support for as many as 64 simultaneous 16x16-bit MAC (multiply/accumulate) operations or 128 16x8-bit MAC operations when using all four vector units. Each vector unit is a 256-bit SIMD (single-instruction/multiple-data) engine using a three-way VLIW (very-long-instruction-word) architecture that supports as many as three parallel ...
