Difference between AltiVec and Instruction set architecture

AltiVec vs. Instruction set architecture

AltiVec is a single-precision floating point and integer SIMD instruction set designed and owned by Apple, IBM, and Freescale Semiconductor (formerly Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector) — the AIM alliance. An instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a computer.

Similarities between AltiVec and Instruction set architecture

AltiVec and Instruction set architecture have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): CPU cache, Instruction set architecture, Reduced instruction set computer, SIMD, Vector processor.

CPU cache

A CPU cache is a hardware cache used by the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer to reduce the average cost (time or energy) to access data from the main memory.

Reduced instruction set computer

A reduced instruction set computer, or RISC (pronounced 'risk'), is one whose instruction set architecture (ISA) allows it to have fewer cycles per instruction (CPI) than a complex instruction set computer (CISC).

Vector processor

In computing, a vector processor or array processor is a central processing unit (CPU) that implements an instruction set containing instructions that operate on one-dimensional arrays of data called vectors, compared to scalar processors, whose instructions operate on single data items.
