Modern GPU designs are mainly based on the SIMD ( Single Instruction Multiple Data ) computation paradigm.
2.
BLU Acceleration takes advantage of single instruction multiple data ( SIMD ) processing, if it is available on the hardware being used.
3.
It added single instruction multiple data ( SIMD ) instructions to the base x86 instruction set, enabling it to perform vector processing, which improves the performance of many graphic-intensive applications.
4.
Major changes are the omission of the S-cache, a larger I-cache, and the inclusion of Motion Video Instructions ( MVI ), an extension to the Alpha Architecture which introduced single instruction multiple data ( SIMD ) instructions for improving the performance of MPEG encoding.
5.
The clusters are near identical except for two differences : U1 has a seven-cycle pipelined multiplier while U0 has a three-cycle pipeline for executing Motion Video Instructions ( MVI ), an extension to the Alpha Architecture defining single instruction multiple data ( SIMD ) instructions for multimedia.
