ACE-Echo 1.0 helps developers estimate the performance of Venus applications. Its cycle-level model is evaluated against RTL for specific cases. That simulator comparison is separate from comparisons between hardware architectures.

ACE-Echo 1.0 timing measurements

The recorded eight-DAG regression used nominal 300 MHz Tile and 150 MHz AXI clocks. The largest absolute DAG-interval error was 0.4633%; the largest individual-task error was 2.2834%. See the complete results and interval definitions.

These measurements are tied to the listed input matrix and model. A small timing error does not establish all-output algorithm correctness, universal cycle-for-cycle equivalence or measured chip energy consumption.

Earlier architecture research

The following benchmarks evaluate earlier architecture configurations. Read them with the corresponding experimental settings and publications; ACE-Echo 1.0 simulator measurements are reported separately above.

Tile-level comparison

Historical tile-level comparison with AVX, Neon and TI DSP. Original workload choices, compiler settings and lane configurations apply.

Vector architecture experiments

Historical UVP/Ara kernel comparison. The original figure pairs L-lane Ara with 4L-lane UVP; lane labels are not interchangeable.

PBCH latency breakdown

Historical BCH procedure breakdown at 50 MHz, Lane32Reg1024. The 1.0 regression uses a different clock and hardware profile.
