Vectorized peak detection for signal processing

Abstract:

Techniques related to a data processing engine for an integrated circuit (IC) are described. In an example, a method is provided for vectorized peak detection. The method includes dividing a set of data samples of a data signal, corresponding to a peak detection window (PDW), into a plurality of subsets of data samples each comprising a number of data samples. The method includes performing vector operations on each of the plurality of subsets of data samples. The method includes determining a running index of a sample with a maximum amplitude over the PDW based on the vector operations.
