....data path, and in the width of the data path. The most different ISA extension, the proposed PowerPC AltiVec ISA, adds support for a separate 128 bit vector multimedia unit in the processor. Though we do not consider floating point media ISA extensions (such as Intel SSE [48] 3DNow [30], MIPS V [58, 24] and AltiVec [95] in this work, they exploit similar support for packed data types, subword rearrangement, and special purpose operations to achieve their performance benefits. Our VIS implementation is closely modeled after the UltraSPARC II implementation and operates on the ....

....improved performance in multi media applications. The aim is to allow operations to proceed on multiple pixels each clock cycle. Such instructionsets have been incorporated both in specialist DSP chips like the Texas C62xx[16] and in general purpose CPU chips like the Intel IA32[6] 7] or the AMD K6[1]. 1.1 The SIMD model These instructionset extensions are typically based on the Single Instructionstream Multiple Data stream (SIMD) model in which a single instruction causes the same mathematical operation to be carried out on many operands, or pairs of operands at the same time. The SIMD model ....

....two 32 bit IEEE 758 floating point numbers[3, Appendix A] and provides a substantial set of primitive float point instructions. The 3DNow implementation in the K6 2 can execute up to two instructions in each of two pipelines, for a total of four floating point vector operations per clock cycle[18]. While 3DNow overlays the floating point system in the same way as MMX, AMD s implementation allows faster switching between the two instruction types. 2.4.4 Motorola AltiVec Motorola s AltiVec extensions are the most powerful and flexible of these four architectures, with no less than 32 ....
