SIMD Visual Benchmark

This project is a Topo template and follows the Topo Template Format Specification.

Visual demonstration of SIMD performance benefits on Arm processors. Compare scalar (no SIMD), NEON (128-bit), and SVE (scalable vector) implementations running identical image processing workloads side-by-side.

It demonstrates:

• Use of multi-stage docker builds with Topo
• Running and profiling hardware acceleration features with a simple image box blur algorithm
• An interactive web dashboard to run and view the benchmark results

Usage

To use this template download and install topo from arm/topo

Clone the project:

topo clone git@github.com:Arm-Examples/topo-simd-visual-benchmark.git

You will be prompted to provide values for the template parameters.

Build and Deploy the project:

cd topo-simd-visual-benchmark
topo deploy --target <ip-address-of-target>

What you will see

Once deployment completes, open a browser to http://<ip-address-of-target>:8095, click "Run" in the top right and you'll
