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 ...

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 ...

Linux creator Linus Torvalds has expressed the hope that Intel's newly released AVX-512 extensions would "die a painful death" adding that the company should start "fixing real problems instead of ...

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 ...

For those of you who can't wait to get your hands on the latest and greatest, news today should have you making out a Christmas list. Intel has confirmed that the next-generation Nehalem processor ...

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 ...

The second generation of Intel's 32nm Core Processor Family, codenamed Sandy Bridge, introduces a new microarchitecture that delivers significant improvements in energy efficiency. New Advanced Vector ...

In context: Advanced vector extensions are a type of "single instruction, multiple data" extension to the x86 instruction set architecture, implemented by Intel and AMD in modern CPUs. These ...

Linux kernel creator Linus Torvalds hopes to see the end of Intel's 512-bit vector extensions and admits he has an "irrational hatred" of the floating-point (FP) benchmarks used to prove their value.

AVX stands for Advanced Vector Extensions. It is a set of CPU instructions designed to speed up complex CPU tasks. Many games require the AVX instruction set to function properly. Therefore, if AVX is ...
