debugger to filter certain instruction sets

adnimo - give the 30-day free trail version of PE Explorer a try. It has a fairly nice disassembler and handles SSE# instructions. PE Explorer is a nice general purpose tool. You can go to the disassembler and then search for the SSE2, or whatever, instruction mnemonics you are looking for.

as for IDA scripting, i got a little bored today (it's a national holiday), so here are two example IDA scripts. the first enumerates functions and provides some information about each function found. to give it a try, copy this code to your favorite ascii editor and save it with a .idc file extension. open a test file in IDA and select "File/IDC File/... the messages are piped to the IDA message window.

the second example uses pop-up messages to tell you how many instructions are in the sub-routine your curser is at and gives you the mnuemonic of the first instruction in the sub-routine. you may find the second example more interesting because it uses the built-in GetMnem() function. certainly, it's a silly script because if you're curser is at the sub-routine, you can look to see what the first instruction is, but i wanted to show you that there is a GetMnem() function you can use to find the instruction you are seeking.
hopefully, these will give you a "hint" of how to write a script to find what you are looking for.

Code:

//example IDA script for adnimo

#include <idc.idc>
static main() {
auto addr, end, args, locals, frame, firstArg, name, ret;
addr = 0;
for(addr = NextFunction(addr); addr != BADADDR; addr = NextFunction(addr)) {
  name = Name(addr);
  end = GetFunctionAttr(addr, FUNCATTR_END);
  locals = GetFunctionAttr(addr, FUNCATTR_FRSIZE);
  frame = GetFrame(addr);
  ret = GetMemberOffset(frame, " r");
  if (ret == -1) continue;
  firstArg = ret + 4;
  args = GetStrucSize(frame) - firstArg;
  Message("Function: %s, starts at %x, ends at %x\n", name, addr, end);
  Message("  Local variable area is %d bytes\n", locals);
  Message("  Arguments occupy %d bytes (%d args)\n", args, args / 4);
  }
}

Code:

// example IDA script for adnimo
// demonstrates GetMnem() built-in function

#include <idc.idc>
static main() {
auto addr, func, frame, end, count, inst, mnem;
func = GetFunctionAttr(ScreenEA(), FUNCATTR_START);
if (func != -1) {
 end = GetFunctionAttr(func, FUNCATTR_END);
 count = 0;
 inst = func;
 while (inst < end) {
    count++;
      inst = FindCode(inst, SEARCH_DOWN | SEARCH_NEXT);
   mnem = GetMnem(inst);
 }
 Warning("%s contains %d instructions, the first instruction mnemonic in this sub-routine is %s\n" Name(func), count, mnem);
 }
 else {
   Warning("No functions found at location %x", ScreenEA());
   }
  }
