A Report on Compilation Techniques for Short-Vector Instructions

Today Multimedia extensions are prevalent in embedded systems and in general-purpose designs. Short-vector instructions are common in these extensions. This paper presents some approaches for compilation of these instructions. These approaches d iffer in their work. Vectorization purely depends on the architecture and the software pipelining is compiler based technique which exploits ILP. Selective vectorization is a mixture of above two techniques and results in better resource utilization.
