Streaming SIMD Extensions

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

In Chapters 5 and 6, you examined MMX technology, which was the x86 platform’s first SIMD enhancement. In this chapter, you'll explore the successor to MMX technology. X86 Streaming SIMD Extensions (x86-SSE) refers to a collection of architectural enhancements that have steadily advanced the SIMD computing capabilities of the x86 platform. X86-SSE adds new registers and instructions that facilitate SIMD computations using packed floating-point data types. It also extends the integer SIMD processing capabilities of MMX technology. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
