One possibility is to accelerate the computation by creating a wider datapath and processing more samples in parallel. Some algorithms lend themselves well to this approach, whereas others do not. It is important to understand the nature of the algorithm to determine if this approach will work and if so, how many samples should be processed in parallel to meet the performance goal.

Processing more samples in parallel using a wider datapath improves performance by reducing the latency (running time) of the accelerated function.
