Questions tagged [sse]
Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) is the first generation of SIMD Intel's instruction sets available on modern x86-compatible CPUs. SSE offers single-precision floating point arithmetic and integer arithmetic (excluding division) and logical operations on packed or single operands of sizes from 8 to 64 bits.
