In High Performance Computing applications, developers always desire to get the most out of the underlying hardware. As the capabilities of the hardware continue to expand, it is important that ...

Linux creator Linus Torvalds has expressed the hope that Intel's newly released AVX-512 extensions would "die a painful death" adding that the company should start "fixing real problems instead of ...

In this paper, the authors consider application of the AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions) technique to improve the performance of the PARFES parallel finite element solver, intended for finite element ...

“With the Intel compilers, intrinsics are recognized and the instructions are generated in-line which is a tremendous advantage. Since the Intel Xeon Phi processor when using the AVX-512 intrinsics ...

Intel's SSEx (Streaming SIMD Extensions) started in 1999 with the Pentium III and have since grown to the latest incarnation dubbed AVX for Advanced Vector Extensions. AVX is expected in Intel's ...

Reading through technical documents is rarely fun, but every so often there are interesting nuggets to uncover. Such is the case with a document (PDF) on Intel's website in regards to its upcoming ...

When Intel launches its 10nm Cannon Lake (CNL) and Ice Lake (ICL) processors for consumers it is now expected that they will come packing Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) 512 instruction compatibility ...

Ever since the advent of the Multi-Media eXtensions, better known as "MMX," Intel has had a long history of tacking on instruction set extensions to add additional capabilities to its x86-family of ...

In context: Advanced vector extensions are a type of "single instruction, multiple data" extension to the x86 instruction set architecture, implemented by Intel and AMD in modern CPUs. These ...
