something related (...but not closely enough?) to what you ask for is described here, but
it is only Westmere, and if you don't have Westmere-NI, its a non-starter
the code would have to be compiled to use Westmere-NI
the focus is cryptography and it is unclear (to me, anyway) if the stuff intended for AES helps you in any way
...but just writing that makes me wonder whether any of the earlier multi-media type extensions are being used to their full extent, and whether you already getting the value out of them that you could: is the program that does this is your own C program (or one for which you have the source code and understand that code), and what compile flags are used? And, your 'generic' processor, what is that, exactly?
