Optimizing mobile multimedia using SIMD techniques
Demand for mobile video applications is growing today in wireless handheld platforms. Optimizing instruction set architectures and employing SIMD techniques is a logical approach towards attaining higher performance in mobile multimedia applications. Intel(R) Wireless MMXTM technology has been designed to accelerate mobile multimedia and applications processing in a power efficient manner. This paper provides an overview of Intel(R) Wireless MMXTM technology, a 64-bit Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) coprocessor for the Intel(R) XScale(R) microarchitecture, and the key features of the architecture that specifically enhance the multi-media performance. Tools and techniques for optimization are also described.
