Abstract

Demand for mobile video applications is growing today in wireless handheld platforms. Intel® Wireless MMX™ technology has been designed to accelerate mobile multimedia and applications processing in a power efficient manner. Optimizing instruction set architecture is a logical approach towards attaining higher performance in multimedia applications. Wireless MMX technology is a 64-bit single instruction multiple data, (SIMD), coprocessor for the Intel® Xscale® microarchitecture. This paper provides an overview of Wireless MMX technology and the key features of the architecture that specifically enhance the multimedia performance. Tools and techniques for optimization are also described.
