Title: Old SSE tutorials and documentation
Post by: alloy on December 26, 2012, 02:12:00 PM
 I've noticed over the past few years that the documentation explaining the Intel instruction set and the SSE1 and SSE2  instructions has gotten more confusing by being less descriptive. I have some interactive SSE1 and SSE2 tutorials downloaded from Intel that explain it very clearly and do not seem to have any visible warnings about re distributing them. I have not seen them on the internet in years and will gladly upload them if they are wanted.

I downloaded it freely from Intel so to my knowledge its okay.

These seem to only work in 32 bit Windows 98 and XP. Run SSE1 Tutorial/CBT/SFP_CBT.EXE for the SSE1 tutorial and run SSE2 tutorial/DFP_CBT.exe for the SSE2 tutorial.

It's at:

Thanks dedndave and sinsi. I will probably take that file down in a few days.

i mentioned modifying the asym.ini file
it seems you can just delete or rename it, getting rid of it, altogether
it is used if the runtimes are on a network share

I downloaded it and had a general look at the files.
It seems a little bit outdated, and it's a pity Intel
did not update it.
Could be very useful indeed.
