Abstract:

Intel recently announced multimedia extensions to the Intel Architecture called MMX. These extensions speed up execution of multimedia algorithms on general purpose microprocessors. The architecture extensions and motivations will be described. The lecture will explain the new data and instruction types created by MMX and how they are intended to be used. Examples of MMX performance benefits will be given.
