Intel Wireless MMX technology is the latest high-performance, low-power, seamless extension to the Intel XScale microarchitecture. Intel Wireless MMX technology offers developers a powerful set of new instructions that help enhance the multimedia experience of Intel PCA-based mobile devices. Programming with Intel Wireless MMX Technology shows software developers how to incorporate Intel Wireless MMX technology into mobile and handheld applications. As well as complete information about the instruction set, the book provides an overview of the tools that ease application development. Expert authors deliver sound advice on how to optimize applications, port code from the desktop, and implement algorithmic techniques that have been proven to yield the best performance. Examples are presented covering the key algorithms used in mobile multimedia applications, including MPEG-4 and H.264 video compression, 2D and 3D graphics, image processing, and speech synthesis and compression. The companion CD-ROM contains all code samples presented in the book, technical documentation, and tutorial examples.
