Overview: MMX™ Technology Intrinsics

MMX™ technology is an extension to the Intel architecture instruction set. The MMX instruction set adds 57 opcodes and a 64-bit quadword data type, and eight 64-bit registers. Each of the eight registers can be directly addressed using the register names MM0 to MM7.

The prototypes for MMX technology intrinsics are in the mmintrin.h header file.
