Hi Gabe, Jason,

Are those x86 SIMD SSE arithmetic instructions take only one cycle as
latency? I looked into the FuncUnitConfig.py and seems like the op lats for
the SIMD functional units are not defined, so I assumed it takes value of 1
by default.

I am not really familiar with x86 SIMD extension, so maybe this question is
more related to x86 ISA in general.

Thanks.
