Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Parallel and vector processor architectures support SIMD-style (Single-Instruction, Multiple-Data) programming where a common operation is performed simultaneously on multiple data elements to improve performance. Intel Architecture's MMX technology, designed and optimized for multimedia applications, supports SIMD-style programming. In this paper we illustrate the use of Intel's MMX instruction set with simple SIMD-style coding examples. These codes are embedded in Visual C++ programs so that interested readers can quickly verify the logic and develop their own applications. The paper is also intended to help students and professionals to acquire the necessary skills to appreciate the advanced processor technology.
