I'm writing a highly parallel application that's multithreaded. I've already got an SSE accelerated thread class written. If I were to write an MMX accelerated thread class, then run both at the same time (one SSE thread and one MMX thread per core) would the performance improve noticeably?
I would think that this setup would help hide memory latency, but I'd like to be sure before I start pouring time into it.
