A. Our latest compiler offers 35% higher performance and 30% smaller code size than our original compiler. A set of intrinsics, including data packing and unpacking will be in the Code Composer Studio release in April to support highly parallel quad 8-bit and dual 16-bit extensions. TI has more than 5 years of VLIW compiler experience resulting in best in Class compilers. Our compiler is developed internally through a tightly coupled relationship with our architecture team. Competitors who are just starting the VLIW or high performance journey will have a difficult time reaching our level of efficiency.
