  • Flow optimization and prediction for VSSE memory operations
    Publication number: 20070143575
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for flow optimization and prediction for vector streaming single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) extension (VSSE) memory operations is disclosed. The method comprises generating an optimized micro-operation (?op) flow for an instruction to operate on a vector if the instruction is predicted to be unmasked and unit-stride, the instruction to access elements in memory, and accessing via the optimized ?op flow two or more of the elements at the same time without determining masks of the two or more elements. Other embodiments are also described.
