opensource VLIW & SIMD compilers

Mar 03, 2009 2 Replies

Dear all, I need to know about the availability of open source compilers, with support for compiling for VLIW & SIMD instruction set of commercially available DSP processors I am trying to create some benchmarks of image/video processing algorithms in different processor architectures

Many DSP chips are only supported by tools from the vendor.

Besides, IMHO, for performance-intensive applications it would be more representative to use the best optimization around -- which is probably going to be the DSP vendor's code.

... plus, for image and video applications, the function is generally supported by external hardware. All this stuff is done by ASSPs now.
