Vector Engine (VE) is a family of vector processors designed as PCIe accelerator cards designed by NEC.
Contents
Overview
NEC introduced the Vector Engine (VE) in 2017 as the successor to the SX line of supercomputers. VEs depart from all prior generations by departing from the traditional self-hosted vector processor and nodes. With the introduction of the Vector Engine, NEC moved to an accelerator card architecture whereby a Vector Engine (VE) PCIe card are installed onto standard x86 server which serves as the Vector Host (VH).
