General-purpose microprocessors augmented with SIMD execution units enhance multimedia applications by exploiting data level parallelism. However, supporting/overhead related inst...
The MISP Processor is a programmable media processor which supports multi-issuing, multi-threading and stream processing techniques. MISP executes applications that have been mapp...
VLIW machines possibly provide the most direct way to exploit instruction level parallelism; however, they cannot be used to emulate current general-purpose instruction set archit...
Multimedia extensions (MME) are architectural extensions to general-purpose processors to boost the performance of multimedia workloads. Today, in-line assembly code, intrinsic fu...
In general-purpose microprocessors, recent trends have pushed towards 64-bit word widths, primarily to accommodate the large addressing needs of some programs. Many integer proble...
