Integrated partition integer execution unit for multimedia and conventional applications

K.C. Tang, A. Wu, Anthony S. Fong, Derek Pao

Abstract

Multimedia instruction set extensions such as Visual Instruction Set from Sun Microsystems, MMX technology from Intel Corporation and AMD adopt the SIMD approach to achieve significant performance improvement for multimedia applications. These existing solutions implement the multimedia unit either within floating point pipeline or sharing the control with integer execution unit and do not support conventional applications. This paper demonstrates the multimedia unit can be integrated into the integer execution unit to deliver benefits in both multimedia and conventional applications.
