<code>as</code> supports Intel's MMX instruction set (SIMD
 | 
						|
instructions for integer data), available on Intel's Pentium MMX
 | 
						|
processors and Pentium II processors, AMD's K6 and K6-2 processors,
 | 
						|
Cyrix' M2 processor, and probably others.  It also supports AMD's 3DNow! 
 | 
						|
instruction set (SIMD instructions for 32-bit floating point data)
 | 
						|
available on AMD's K6-2 processor and possibly others in the future.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>Currently, <code>as</code> does not support Intel's floating point
 | 
						|
SIMD, Katmai (KNI).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>The eight 64-bit MMX operands, also used by 3DNow!, are called <span class="samp">%mm0</span>,
 | 
						|
<span class="samp">%mm1</span>, ... <span class="samp">%mm7</span>.  They contain eight 8-bit integers, four
 | 
						|
16-bit integers, two 32-bit integers, one 64-bit integer, or two 32-bit
 | 
						|
floating point values.  The MMX registers cannot be used at the same time
 | 
						|
as the floating point stack.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>See Intel and AMD documentation, keeping in mind that the operand order in
 | 
						|
instructions is reversed from the Intel syntax.
