The growing popularity of multimedia extensions to general-purpose microprocessors has renewed the interest in vectorizing compilers. This book provides a detailed overview of compiler optimizations that convert sequential code into a form that exploits multimedia extensions. The primary focus is on the C programming language and multimedia extensions to the Intel� Architecture, although most conversion methods are easily generalized to other imperative programming languages and multimedia instruction sets.

The presented optimizations are available in the high performance Intel C++/Fortran compilers that support automatic vectorization for the Intel MMX� technology and Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE). As such, the book has been written for those with an interest in improving software performance by means of multimedia extensions, such as compiler engineers and programmers of scientific, engineering, and multimedia applications.

About the Author:

Aart J.C. Bik holds a PhD in computer science and has been published extensively in academic and popular journals, ranging from Dr. Dobbs to the IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems. Aart is currently a Senior Staff Engineer at Intel Corporation, working on development of high performance Intel� C++ and Fortran compilers. Aart received an Intel Achievement Award (the highest company award available) for his work in making Intel's Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) easier to use through automatic vectorization.
