This is x86 only, and a quick skim of the dissertation suggests that it doesn't implement any post-P6 (Pentium Pro) instructions. The P6 is 24 years old now so presumably all patents are expired?
- userbinator 8y agoThe last time I looked, the MMX patents were close to expiry too, and by now they might be.
- Const-me 8y agoMMX is from P5. P6 supports MMX and later revisions SSE 1. The next one after P6 is NetBurst, it introduced SSE2 and later revisions SSE3.
