Nigel C. Paver, Moinul H. Khan, B.C. Aldrich · 2005
Demand for mobile video applications is growing today in wireless handheld platforms. Intel/spl reg/ Wireless MMX/spl trade/ technology has been designed to accelerate mobile multimedia and applications processing in a power efficient manner. Optimizing instruction set architecture is a logical approach towards attaining higher performance in multimedia applications. Wireless MMX technology is a 64-bit single instruction multiple data, (SIMD), coprocessor for the Intel/spl reg/ Xscale/spl reg/ microarchitecture. This paper provides an overview of Wireless MMX technology and the key features of the architecture that specifically enhance the multimedia performance. Tools and techniques for optimization are also described.
