Intel announced a couple years ago that it was working on a new set of vector extensions as a superset of SSE, Advanced Vector Extensions or AVX. Now Paul Taylor is reporting that it will get its ...

First, architecture basics are detailed with information on the register sets, data types, and memory and instruction formats. Next, instruction set extensions are detailed, which include Intel® ...

In this paper, the authors consider application of the AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions) technique to improve the performance of the PARFES parallel finite element solver, intended for finite element ...

Regular readers will recall that we wrote about Intel's X86S proposal awhile back. That was merely in the concept stages, but it's an idea to shed a lot of the legacy cruft from x86-compatible ...

Intel's SSEx (Streaming SIMD Extensions) started in 1999 with the Pentium III and have since grown to the latest incarnation dubbed AVX for Advanced Vector Extensions. AVX is expected in Intel's ...
