The new collection commands SSE5 continued to be developed BY AMD in the x86 architecture , which includes 3DNow!, AMD x86-64 architecture, AMD virtualization ...
AMD Company today declared about a new improvement in the architecture of x86 expansion (commands collection ) , which received SSE5 designation . As it is asserted, it will allow programs developers to simplify the code and to attain larger effectiveness in the most demanding to performance applications. It is important that SSE5 expansion are oriented to a increase the performance in daily tasks, including high performance calculations and multimedia .
Company already talked about SSE5 specifications and was ready to dialog with developers .
SSE5 Designation is to increase the fulfillment of each command and to introduce to the x86 platform functionality, previously accessible only in specialized, high performance architectures.
In particular, the discussion deals with the instructions with three operands. Increasing the quantity of operands in mathematical and logical functions from two to three, SSE5 allow to consolidate several simple instructions into one, more effective..
Another innovation is Fused multiply accumulate. Having instructions, which manipulate by three operands, it is possible to easily realize the collection of commands for complex calculations. The instruction fused multiply accumulate unites multiplication and addition, which reduces the iterative calculations to one command. Simplification in the code and acceleration of calculations, as it is expected, it will make possible to obtain more realistic graphic and volumetric sound, to raise the speed of operations with complex vectors.
SSE5 Specifications will be realized in products, based on core of the following generation (Bulldozer), which will appear on the market in 2009.
