  71. <p><code>as</code> supports Intel&rsquo;s MMX instruction set (SIMD
  72. instructions for integer data), available on Intel&rsquo;s Pentium MMX
  73. processors and Pentium II processors, AMD&rsquo;s K6 and K6-2 processors,
  74. Cyrix&rsquo; M2 processor, and probably others. It also supports AMD&rsquo;s 3DNow!
  75. instruction set (SIMD instructions for 32-bit floating point data)
  76. available on AMD&rsquo;s K6-2 processor and possibly others in the future.
  77. </p>
  78. <p>Currently, <code>as</code> does not support Intel&rsquo;s floating point
  79. SIMD, Katmai (KNI).
  80. </p>
  81. <p>The eight 64-bit MMX operands, also used by 3DNow!, are called &lsquo;<samp>%mm0</samp>&rsquo;,
  82. &lsquo;<samp>%mm1</samp>&rsquo;, ... &lsquo;<samp>%mm7</samp>&rsquo;. They contain eight 8-bit integers, four
  83. 16-bit integers, two 32-bit integers, one 64-bit integer, or two 32-bit
  84. floating point values. The MMX registers cannot be used at the same time
  85. as the floating point stack.
  86. </p>
  87. <p>See Intel and AMD documentation, keeping in mind that the operand order in
  88. instructions is reversed from the Intel syntax.
