SEC: (Single Edge Connector) A processor module, such as the Pentium II.
SIMD: (Single Instruction Multiple Data) can copy multiple operations and package them in a set of instructions for large registers, eg 3DNow!, SSE.
SiO2F: (Fluorided Silicon Oxide, silicon difluoride) The materials that are needed to make electronic components.
SOI: (Silicon on insulator) SONC (System on a chip) integrates multiple functions in one processor, such as Cyrix MediaGX.
SPEC: (System Performance Evaluation Corporation) Benchmark of the overall performance of the test system.
Speculative execution: An area used to execute an unspecified instruction stream. After the branch instruction is issued, the traditional processor can not do any work until it receives the correct feedback information. The new processor with predictive execution capability can estimate the instruction to be executed and use the pre-calculated method to speed up the process. The entire process.
SQRT: (Square Root Calculations) A complex operation that can test the CPU's floating point capabilities.
SSE: (Streaming SIMD Extensions, Single-instruction, Multi-stream Extensions) Intel developed the second generation of SIMD instruction set with 70 instructions to speed up floating-point and multimedia operations.
Superscalar: (super scalar architecture) processor architecture that can execute multiple instruction streams on the same clock cycle.
TCP: (Tape Carrier Package) A chip package characterized by low heat generation.
Throughput: It has two meanings:
First: The minimum number of clock cycles required to execute an instruction is as small as possible. The faster the execution, the lower the chance of the next instruction and its preemption of resources.
Second: The maximum number of instructions can be executed within a certain period of time. Of course, the bigger the better.
TLBs: (Translate Look side Buffers) area for storing instructions and input/output values.
VALU: (Vector Arithmetic Logic Unit, Vector Arithmetic Logic Unit) Part of the processor used for vector operations.
VLIW: (Very Long Instruction Word, very long instruction word) A very long combination of instructions that tie together many instructions to increase the speed of operations.
VPU: (Vector Permutate Unit) A portion of the processor used to arrange data.
