Abstract
In one embodiment, a heterogeneous multicore processor is described that is optimized to execute multi-stage computer vision algorithms such as cascade classifier workloads. In such embodiment the heterogeneous processor includes at least one SIMD core, such as a vector processor core, coupled with one or more scalar cores. In one embodiment the heterogeneous multiprocessor executes multi-stage compute operations, where the SIMD core computes a first set of stages and the one or more scalar cores compute the second set of stages. In one embodiment, a process for designing a heterogeneous multicore processor is disclosed which optimizes the ratio of scalar to SIMD cores based on execution time of the multi-stage compute operation in relation to processor die area consumed by a processor configuration having the ratio.
