This article shows a simple example of a loop that was not vectorized by the Intel® C++ Compiler due to possible data dependencies, but which has now been vectorized using the Intel® Advanced Vector ...

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 ...

This document briefly gives an overview of the Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel® AVX-512) and shows different ways to build an application for the Intel® Xeon Phi™ processor x200 using the ...

As new technologies emerge that speed up computations, it is important to understand what these new features are and the benefits that can be gained by using the new technology. Vectorization has been ...

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 ...

FPU Mandel and in the near future we'll include CPU Hash benchmarks as well, they now also utilize Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) of Intel Sandy Bridge and Future AMD processors. System ...

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 ...

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® ...

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 ...

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 ...
