  1. Multimedia Extension Technology survey Xinsong Yang Electrical and Computer Engineering 734 Final Project 5/10/2002 xinsong

  2. What is it? • Extension from the general purpose microprocessor without special purpose processor or dedicated hardware • Highly improve the multimedia performance • SIMD extension xinsong

  3. General characteristic • Parallel execution using packed data in one instruction(arithmetic, logical) • A set of specialized operations for media applications. • Reorganization of operands in a SIMD format – unpack, shuffle, shift, permute, etc. • Data prefetch and streaming load/store instructions xinsong

  4. Implementation • Intel extended MMX to IA-32 architecture • Sun enhanced VIS to UltraSPARC architecture • HP added MAX to PA-RISC architecture • Motorola/IBM extended Alvetic to powerPC xinsong

  5. Project Goals • Survey the multimedia extension technology from MMX, MAX, AltiVec, VIS • Compare those extension and describe the common characteristic and special features ECE 734
