The growing popularity of multimedia extensions renewed the interest in vectorizing compilers, which date back to the early days of supercomputers (with a traditional focus on Fortran programs). Although the target architectures of these early vectorizing compilers differ substantially from modern microprocessors with multimedia extensions, a lot of the vectorization methodology developed in the past can be put to use in today's compilers that target multimedia instruction sets that are based on the Single-Instruction-Multiple-Data (SIMD) paradigm. This book provides a detailed overview of compiler optimizations that convert sequential code into a form that best exploits multimedia extensions.Note: this is a LaTeX-generated version of the original 2004 printed version of this book (now offered since Intel Press is no longer in operation) and covers Intel MMX Technology and Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE, SSE2, SSE3).
