Seems that Kalimba is a DSP, originally by CSR and now by Qualcomm. CSR8640 is using it, for example https://www.qualcomm.com/products/internet-of-things/consume...

VE is harder to find with such short name.



NEC Vector Engine. Basically not a thing outside supercomputers.


$800 for the 20B-P model on ebay. More memory bandwidth than a 4090. I wonder if llama.cpp could be made to run on it?

I see rumors they charge for the compiler though.
