Go up one level in this thread


I would suggest simply waiting for IA-64 (Merced) systems with 128 64bit
registers.  Why fool around with MMX ?  With that many "regular" registers (plus
even more "other" registers), I would rather have the compiler optimize things
than sweat assembler details, never mind debugging...unless you just really
enjoy bit twiddling.

Check out Intel's web info on IA-64 and download the instruction set, which
looks pretty good, other than missing bsr/bsf
