In this paper, the authors consider application of the AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions) technique to improve the performance of the PARFES parallel finite element solver, intended for finite element ...

Linux creator Linus Torvalds has expressed the hope that Intel's newly released AVX-512 extensions would "die a painful death" adding that the company should start "fixing real problems instead of ...

First, architecture basics are detailed with information on the register sets, data types, and memory and instruction formats. Next, instruction set extensions are detailed, which include Intel® ...

Regular readers will recall that we wrote about Intel's X86S proposal awhile back. That was merely in the concept stages, but it's an idea to shed a lot of the legacy cruft from x86-compatible ...

AVX stands for Advanced Vector Extensions. It is a set of CPU instructions designed to speed up complex CPU tasks. Many games require the AVX instruction set to function properly. Therefore, if AVX is ...

The second generation of Intel's 32nm Core Processor Family, codenamed Sandy Bridge, introduces a new microarchitecture that delivers significant improvements in energy efficiency. New Advanced Vector ...

Intel's SSEx (Streaming SIMD Extensions) started in 1999 with the Pentium III and have since grown to the latest incarnation dubbed AVX for Advanced Vector Extensions. AVX is expected in Intel's ...

In context: Advanced vector extensions are a type of "single instruction, multiple data" extension to the x86 instruction set architecture, implemented by Intel and AMD in modern CPUs. These ...
