New post summary designs on greatest hits now, everywhere else eventually. Linked 1. Related Interlocked intrinsics are a set of intrinsics that are used to perform atomic read-modify-write operations. Some of them are common to all platforms. They're listed separately here because there are a large number of them, but because their definitions are mostly redundant, it's easier to think about them in general terms. Their names can be used to derive the exact behaviors.
The following table summarizes the ARM support of the non-bittest interlocked intrinsics. The plain interlocked bit test intrinsics are common to all platforms. Skip to main content.

You will, however, find them, and the instruction set references, useful as reference literature when using SSE. We will, for various practical reasons, use the Linux lab machines for this lab assignment. Section 3 introduces the tools and commands you need to know to get started.
The SSE extension to the x86 consists of a set of bit vector registers and a large number of instructions to operate on them. The number of available registers depends on the mode of the processor, only 8 registers are available in bit mode, while 16 registers are available in bit mode.
The data type of the packed elements in the - bit vector is decided by the specific instruction. For example, there are separate addition instructions for adding vectors of single and double precision floating point numbers.
Some operations that are normally independent of the operand types integer or floating point , e. A bit integer, i. Consequently, a bit integer is known as a doubleword. Using SSE in a modern C-compiler is fairly straightforward. In general, no assembler coding is needed. Most modern compilers expose a set of vector types and intrinsics to manipulate them. The intrinsics are enabled by including the correct header file.
The name of the header file depends on the SSE version you are targeting, see Table 1. You may also need to pass an option to the compiler to allow it to generate SSE code, e. For the purpose of this assignment, we simply ignore those portability issues and assume that at least SSE3 is present, which is the norm for processors released since The SSE intrinsics add a set of new data types to the language, these are sum- marized in Table 2.
In general, the data types provided to support SSE provide little protection against programmer errors. Vectors of integers of different size all use the sam e vector type mi , there are however separate types for vectors of single and double precision floating point numbers.
The vector types do not support the native C operators, instead they require explicit use of special intrinsics. The most common types are listed in Table 2. The following sections will present some useful instructions and examples to get you started with SSE. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of available instruc- tions or intrinsics. In particular, most of the instructions that rearrange data within vectors shuffling , various data-packing instructions and generally esoteric instruc- tions have been left out.
Interested readers should refer to the optimization manuals from the CPU manufacturers for a more thorough introduction. There are three classes of load and store instructions for SSE.
They differ in how they behave with respect to the memory system. Two of the classes require their memory. The fixed-length C-types requires the inclusion of stdint. For example, a bit integer is naturally aligned if it is aligned to bits. Does not require any special alignment, but may perform better if data is naturally aligned.
Aligned Memory access type that requires data to be aligned. Might perform slightly better than unaligned memory accesses. Raises an exception if the memory operand is not naturally aligned. Streaming Memory accesses that are optimized for data that is streaming, also known as non-temporal, and is not likely to be reused soon.
Requires operands to be naturally aligned. Streaming stores are generally much faster than normal stores since they can avoid reading data before the writing. However, they require data to be written sequentially and, preferably, in entire cache line units. We will not be using this type in the lab. See Table 3 for a list of load and store intrinsics and their corresponding assembler instructions. A usage example is provided in Listing 1.
