Modern <strong>SIMD</strong> <strong>Processors</strong><br />
• Most modern CPUs have <strong>SIMD</strong> architectures<br />
o Intel SSE <strong>and</strong> MMX, ARM NEON, MIPS MDMX<br />
• These architectures include instruction set extensions<br />
which allow both sequential <strong>and</strong> parallel instructions<br />
to be executed<br />
• Some architectures include separate <strong>SIMD</strong> coprocessors<br />
for h<strong>and</strong>ling these instructions<br />
• ARM NEON<br />
o Included in Cortex-A8 <strong>and</strong> Cortex-A9 processors<br />
• Intel SSE<br />
o Introduced in 1999 in the Pentium III processor<br />
o<br />
SSE4 currently used in Core series
