Optimized FIR Filter Implementation Using SSE Instructions (WHITE PAPER)
Intel® software products take advantage of the performance potential of the Intel® Atom™ processor. When compiler technologies or optimized off-the-shelf libraries are not sufficient to meet extreme performance requirements, hand-optimized routines are justified to maximize performance. This paper describes step-by-step development of an ultra-fast impulse response (FIR) filter for digital signal processing using Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) and other Intel Atom processor features.

Optimizing H.264 Software Codec on Intel® Atom™ and Intel® Core™2 Processors Targeting Intel® Digital Security Surveillance (Intel® DSS) Applications (WHITE PAPER)
H.264/AVC is the latest video coding standard from ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). Due to its high compression efficiency and superior video quality, H.264/AVC is becoming the most preferred and common video codec in digital security surveillance (DSS) applications, despite increasing encoding complexity. This paper shows how H.264 encoding performance increases using processor-specific Intel® Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extension (SSSE3) and SSE4 instructions. (Intel)

Guidelines for Migrating to Intel® Atom™ Processor from Other Processor Architecture (WHITE PAPER)
While there are many benefits to migrating from ARM architecture to Intel® Atom™ microarchitecture, there are challenges to overcome before the migration is complete. This white paper lists necessary decisions in relation to latencies, cores and the order in which the decisions need to be implemented. The paper also covers experiments which need to be conducted to gather data related to these decisions. (Intel)
Upgrading to an Intel® Multi-core Ecosystem Keeps a Car Simulator Running in the Fast Lane (WHITE PAPER)
The Pi Shurlok PiAutoSim is a bench-top simulator designed for hardware-in-the-loop testing of automotive electronic control modules (ECM). The unit is used by car manufacturers to test ECMs without having to fasten the ECM to an engine. Engine models are created in software and used to test and validate the behavior of the ECM. This paper describes how upgrading to the latest multi-core Intel® architecture using the latest Intel® software tools results in a significant performance gain. (Intel)
