vector-processing instruction
1Vector processor — A vector processor, or array processor, is a CPU design where the instruction set includes operations that can perform mathematical operations on multiple data elements simultaneously. This is in contrast to a scalar processor which handles one… …
2Instruction set — An instruction set, or instruction set architecture (ISA), is the part of the computer architecture related to programming, including the native data types, instructions, registers, addressing modes, memory architecture, interrupt and exception… …
3Instruction pipeline — Pipelining redirects here. For HTTP pipelining, see HTTP pipelining. Basic five stage pipeline in a RISC machine (IF = Instruction Fetch, ID = Instruction Decode, EX = Execute, MEM = Memory access, WB = Register write back). In the fourth clock… …
4Central processing unit — CPU redirects here. For other uses, see CPU (disambiguation). An Intel 80486DX2 CPU from above An Intel 80486DX2 from below …
5Graphics processing unit — GPU redirects here. For other uses, see GPU (disambiguation). GeForce 6600GT (NV43) GPU A graphics processing unit or GPU (also occasionally called visual processing unit or VPU) is a specialized circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter… …
6Zero Instruction Set Computer — In computer science, ZISC stands for Zero Instruction Set Computer, which refers to a chip technology based on pure pattern matching and absence of (micro )instructions in the classical sense. The ZISC acronym alludes to the previously developed… …
7Minimal instruction set computer — (MISC) is a processor architecture with a very small number of basic operations and corresponding opcodes. Such instruction sets are commonly stack based rather than register based to reduce the size of operand specifiers. Such a stack machine… …
8MMX (instruction set) — Pentium with MMX MMX is a single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) instruction set designed by Intel, introduced in 1996 with their P5 based Pentium line of microprocessors, designated as Pentium with MMX Technology .[1] …
9Advanced Vector Extensions — The Intel Advanced Vector Extensions is a set of SIMD instructions announced by Intel at the Spring Intel Developer Forum in April 2008. These instructions will appear on 2010 Intel processors such as Sandy Bridge.White papers are available at… …
10Physics processing unit — A physics processing unit (PPU) is a dedicated microprocessor designed to handle the calculations of physics, especially in the physics engine of video games. Examples of calculations involving a PPU might include rigid body dynamics, soft body… …
