14th IEEE Symposium on Computer Arithmetic (ARITH-14 '99)
A Low-Power, High-Speed Implementation of a PowerPC(tm) Microprocessor Vector Extension
Adelaide, Australia
April 14-April 16
ISBN: 0-7695-0116-8
The AltiVec((tm)) technology is an extension to the PowerPC architecture((tm)) which provides new computational and storage operations for handling vectors of various data lengths and data types. The first implementation using this technology is a low cost, low power processor based on the acclaimed PowerPC 750((tm)) microprocessor. This paper describes the microarchitecture and design of the vector arithmetic unit of this implementation.
