Intel is set to release a new instruction set called AVX, which includes an extension of SSE to 256-bit operation. That is, either 4 double-precision elements or 8 single-precision elements. How would one go about developing code for AVX, considering there's no hardware out there that supports it yet? More generally, how can developer...
I'd like to start and play with some AVX (advanced vector extension) instructions. I know Intel provides an emulator to test software containing these instructions (see this question), but since I don't want to manually write hex code, the question arises as to which assemblers currently know the AVX instruction set? I would be most in...
Are there any Intel AVX intrinsics library out? I'm looking for something similar as 'sse2mmx.h' header which fall-backs to MMX intrinsics if SSE2 integer intrinsics are not available on compile time. Thus if I had similar library for AVX I could write optimized code for new hardware which would have almost optimal speed in case AVX exte...
