Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are an apparatus and method for performing a complex number operation using a Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) architecture. A SIMD operation apparatus may perform, in parallel, a real part operation and an imaginary part operation of a plurality of complex numbers. The real part operation and the imaginary part operation may be performed sequentially, or in parallel.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) operation apparatus, comprising: at least one complex number operating hardware processor configured to perform, with respect to received input data, a first operation, a second operation, and a third operation based on a first complex number, a second complex number, a third complex number, and a fourth complex number, wherein the first operation is performed to calculate, in parallel, a first product, a second pr…
