Just got that news from CFXWeb. Cort Stratton written an article about SSE optimizations. here you are some words from the tutorial :
“In this article I’ll be describing the process of optimizing a piece of code to make use of Intel’s SSE instruction set. As an example, I will work with a 4×4 matrix-vector multiplication function (commonly found in most 3D graphics engines). Starting from a naïve C++ implementation, I will progressively apply various optimization techniques, until the function is more than four times faster than its original version.”.
