Is there a simple tutorial for me to get up to speed in SSE, SSE2 and SSE3 in GNU C++? How can you do code optimization in SSE?
A simple tutorial? Not that I know of.
But any information about using MMX or any version of SSE will be useful for learning, whether for GCC or for ICC or VC.
To learn about GCC's vector extensions, type "info gcc" and go to Node: Vector Extensions.
