6.6 Co-processors and accelerators

Co-Processors

For optimized performance co-processors and accelerators are helpful. A co-processor is used to supplement the functions performed by the main CPU. This creates a model in which multi-threading is utilized. Tasks can be divided across the CPUs depending on the functions to be implemented.

Accelerators

Accelerators are intended to help the CPU perform certain tasks more efficiently by extending the capabilities of a CPU through registers and instructions. The added efficiency can often times remove the need of additional co-processors. Some common accelerators are presented below:

  • Trigonometric Math Unit: Accelerates several specific trigonometric math operations like sine, cosine, arc tangent, divide, and square root.
  • Cryptographic Unit: Accelerates encryption algorithms such as the data encryption standard (DES) symmetric encryption algorithm and the advanced encryption system (AES) symmetric encryption algorithm.
  • Floating-Point Unit: Provides floating-point math support which alleviates scaling and saturation concerns.
  • Complex Math Unit: Accelerates math operations like add, subtract, and multiply.
