Fifth IEEE International Workshop on Computer Architectures for Machine Perception (CAMP'00) The Long And Winding Road to High-Performance Image Processing with MMX/SSE Padova, Italy September 11-September 13 ISBN: 0-7695-0740-9
Recently introduced "SIMD on registers" extensions to commodity microprocessors instruction sets promise (according to the makers) high potential speed-ups for multimedia processing tasks. This paper introduces the complex programming model of MMX/SSE extensions and discusses how the achievement of an effective performance increase over sequential code is no easy task also due to a poor software support. Experiences gained on two real-time image processing projects helped defining a programming methodology and evaluating the tradeoffs to obtain substantial speed-ups with MMX/SSE code.
