Reverse-engineered KNI Documentation
Clive Turvey has continued his investigation into KNI, and
has documented
the instructions he has found so far. MMX coders will be
happy to see that KNI contains a 1-cycle shuffle instruction,
like Altivec does, but unlike MMX. As expected
it has some instructions specifically for 3D (1/x and 1/sqrt(x)).
Update: 02/24 12:11 by S : As reader Christopher Thomas points out,
Intel has released a manual that includes a functional
description of KNI. But I can't find any instruction timings in it.
It weighs a hefty 5.5Mb.
