Getting started with Arm Helium: The new vector extension for the M-Profile Architecture-February 18, 2019 |
Arm has announced the latest version of the Armv8-M architecture, known as Armv8.1-M, including the new M-Profile Vector Extension (MVE). The vector extension brings up to 15 times performance uplift to machine learning (ML) functions, and up to 5 times uplift to signal processing functions compared to existing Armv8-M implementations. It may be viewed as the Armv8-M architecture’s version of the Advanced SIMD Extension (Neon) in the A-Profile.
Arm Helium technology is the M-Profile Vector Extension (MVE) for the Arm Cortex-M processor series.
