| | Introduction to the Streaming SIMD Extensions in the Pentium III |
 | | MMX and SSE, both of which are instruction sets that have been added to existing architectures, share the concept of SIMD, but they differ in the data types they handle, and in the way they are supported in the processor. | | | With the SSE SDK (Software Developers Kit), Intel provides two more programming mechanisms for using the SSE instructions: the intrinsics library, and a C++ class for the new data type defined by SSE. | | | The data operated on by SSE instructions has to be stored in the new data type defined by SSE. |

| | Streaming SIMD Extensions |
| | Because Itanium instructions treat the Streaming SIMD Extensions registers in the same way whether you are using packed or scalar data, there is no __m32 data type to represent scalar data. | | | SIMD instructions for Itanium-based systems operate on 64-bit FP register quantities containing two single-precision floating-point values. | | | Prototypes for these intrinsics and some related macros and constants are in the header file xmmintrin.h. |

| | The Streaming SIMD Extensions include three basic categories of instructions: SIMD floating-point instructions, SIMD integer instructions, and memory-related cache-control instructions. | | | Well, keep in mind that data should be 16-byte aligned to avoid performance penalties, and that the Pentium III requires 16-byte alignment when reading and writing the Streaming SIMD Extensions registers (since their new registers are 128 bits wide). | | | The SIMD integer commands are extensions to MMX technology. |

| | SSE also supports data prefetching, which is a mechanism for reading data into the cache before it is actually called for. | | | Note that for any of the SSE instructions to be beneficial, they must be encoded in the software you are using, which means that SSE-aware applications must be used to see the benefits. | | | One of the main benefits of SSE over plain MMX is that it supports single-precision floating-point SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) operations, which have posed a bottleneck in the 3D graphics processing. |

| | Reducing 3D Wavelet Transform Execution Time through the Streaming SIMD (ResearchIndex) |
| | We present several optimizations that could not be applied by the compiler due to the characteristics of the algorithm. | | | First, we use the Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) for some of the dimensions of the sequence (# and #######), in order to reduce the number of floating point instructions, exploiting Data Level Parallelism. | | | Abstract: This paper focuses on reducing the execution time of the video compression algorithms based on the 3D wavelet transform. |

| | Intel’s Streaming SIMD (single instruction multiple data) extensions provide seventy additional instructions (single instruction, multiple-data-floating point, additional SIMD-integer, and cacheability-control instructions) most of which, according to Intel, are supposed to improve performance in advanced imaging, 3D, streaming audio and video, and speech recognition applications. | | | The most significant improvement is SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) instructions that provide basic parallel processing for some floating-point instructions. | | | The latest Coppermine (0.18 micron fabrication process and Streaming SIMD extensions) versions have level-2 cache that runs at the same speed as the processor’s core frequency. |

| | More important, SIMD operation allows the processor to dispatch a single instruction to execute tasks on more than one piece of data. | | | Through the streaming SIMD extensions, software can exert control over the L2 cache of the Pentium III processor. | | | IT professionals will also find that the Pentium III processor is optimized to handle the kind of large and streaming data sets that have become common in network-aware and Internet-based applications. |

| | There are 144 new instructions, which range from instructions for new data types (such as double-precision floating points) to extending the capabilities of the set to make use of some of the architectural changes introduced with the Pentium 4. | | | Despite this, and undoubtedly more to do with Intel's domination of the desktop marketplace at the time, big-name developers were keen to jump aboard the much-hyped MMX bandwagon. | | | The next big hit on the new instructions front came bundled with the Pentium III in the form of Streaming SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) Extensions, or SSE. |
