It describes computers with multiple processing elements that perform the same operation on multiple data simultaneously. Thus, such machines exploit data level parallelism. History The first use of SIMD instructions was in vector supercomputers of the early 1970s such as the CDC Star-100 and the Texas Instruments ASC, which could operate on a vector of data with a single instruction. Vector processing was especially popularized by Cray in the 1970s and 1980s. Vector-processing architectures are now considered separate from SIMD machines, based on the fact that vector machines processed the vectors one word at a time through pipelined processors (though still based on a single instruction), whereas modern SIMD machines process all elements of the vector simultaneously.[1] The first era of modern SIMD machines was characterized by massively parallel processing-style supercomputers such as the Thinking Machines CM-1 and CM-2. These machines had many limited-functionality processors that would work in parallel.

  • Chapter 3 Basic Execution Environment
    CHAPTER 3 BASIC EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT This chapter describes the basic execution environment of an Intel 64 or IA-32 processor as seen by assembly- language programmers. It describes how the processor executes instructions and how it stores and manipulates data. The execution environment described here includes memory (the address space), general-purpose data registers, segment registers, the flag register, and the instruction pointer register. 3.1 MODES OF OPERATION The IA-32 architecture supports three basic operating modes: protected mode, real-address mode, and system management mode. The operating mode determines which instructions and architectural features are accessible: • Protected mode — This mode is the native state of the processor. Among the capabilities of protected mode is the ability to directly execute “real-address mode” 8086 software in a protected, multi-tasking environment. This feature is called virtual-8086 mode, although it is not actually a processor mode. Virtual-8086 mode is actually a protected mode attribute that can be enabled for any task. • Real-address mode — This mode implements the programming environment of the Intel 8086 processor with extensions (such as the ability to switch to protected or system management mode). The processor is placed in real-address mode following power-up or a reset. • System management mode (SMM) — This mode provides an operating system or executive with a transparent mechanism for implementing platform-specific functions such as power management and system security. The processor enters SMM when the external SMM interrupt pin (SMI#) is activated or an SMI is received from the advanced programmable interrupt controller (API C). In SMM, the processor switches to a separate address space while saving the basic context of the currently running program or task.

  • P5 (Microarchitecture)
    P5 (microarchitecture) The Intel P5 Pentium family Produced From 1993 to 1999 Common manufacturer(s) • Intel Max. CPU clock rate 60 MHz to 300 MHz FSB speeds 50 MHz to 66 MHz Min. feature size 0.8pm to 0.25pm Instruction set x86 Socket(s) • Socket 4, Socket 5, Socket 7 Core name(s) P5. P54C, P54CS, P55C, Tillamook The original Pentium microprocessor was introduced on March 22, 1993.^^ Its microarchitecture, deemed P5, was Intel's fifth-generation and first superscalar x86 microarchitecture. As a direct extension of the 80486 architecture, it included dual integer pipelines, a faster FPU, wider data bus, separate code and data caches and features for further reduced address calculation latency. In 1996, the Pentium with MMX Technology (often simply referred to as Pentium MMX) was introduced with the same basic microarchitecture complemented with an MMX instruction set, larger caches, and some other enhancements. The P5 Pentium competitors included the Motorola 68060 and the PowerPC 601 as well as the SPARC, MIPS, and Alpha microprocessor families, most of which also used a superscalar in-order dual instruction pipeline configuration at some time. Intel's Larrabee multicore architecture project uses a processor core derived from a P5 core (P54C), augmented by multithreading, 64-bit instructions, and a 16-wide vector processing unit. T31 Intel's low-powered Bonnell [4i microarchitecture employed in Atom processor cores also uses an in-order dual pipeline similar to P5. Development The P5 microarchitecture was designed by the same Santa Clara team which designed the 386 and 486.^ Design work started in 1989;^ the team decided to use a superscalar architecture, with on-chip cache, floating-point, and branch prediction.
