However it&#39;s also possible to write custom low-level code that directly uses NEON machine instructions. I don&#39;t know if it will help or not, but there&#39;s an old blog here to walk through some of it:&nbsp;&nbsp;[mention:a4e095d9c71a494d951debe173f98c08:f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07]&nbsp; (it should apply to Zynq, although that article was written about a TI processor).&nbsp;</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=26544&AppID=395&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
