What do you understand by MMX? For what purpose is MMX technology needed?
Answers
Answer:
MMX technology was defined to be simple. MMX technology is general enough to address the needs of a large domain of PC applications built from current and future algorithms. MMX instructions are not privileged; they can be used in applications, codecs, algorithms, and drivers.
Answer:
Intel's MMX technology is designed to accelerate multimedia and communications applications. The technology includes new instructions and data types that allow applications to achieve a new level of performance. It exploits the parallelism inherent in many multimedia and communications algorithms, yet maintains full compatibility with existing operating systems and applications.
The key attributes of these applications were:
Small integer data types (for example: 8-bit graphics pixels, 16-bit audio samples)
Small, highly repetitive loops
Frequent multiplies and accumulates
Compute-intensive algorithms
Highly parallel operations
Hope you have a great day
