Datasheet Volume One of Two
• Extensibility - Intel AVX has built-in extensibility for the future vector extensions:
— OS context management for vector-widths beyond 256 bits is streamlined.
— Efficient instruction encoding allows unlimited functional enhancements:
• Vector width support beyond 256 bits
• 256-bit Vector Integer processing
• Additional computational and/or data manipulation primitives.
• Compatibility - Intel AVX is backward compatible with previous ISA extensions
including Intel SSE4:
— Existing Intel® SSE applications/library can:
• Run unmodified and benefit from processor enhancements
• Recompile existing Intel® SSE intrinsic using compilers that generate
Intel AVX code
• Inter-operate with library ported to Intel AVX
— Applications compiled with Intel AVX can inter-operate with existing Intel SSE
libraries.
3.10 Intel® Dynamic Power Technology
Intel® Dynamic Power technology (Memory Power Management) is a platform feature
with the ability to transition memory components into various low power states based
on workload requirements. The Intel® Xeon® processor E5-1600 v2/E5-2600 v2
product families platform supports Dynamic CKE (hardware assisted) and Memory Self
Refresh (software assisted). For further details refer to the
ACPI Specifications for
Memory Power Management document.
