SIMD instructions perform a +single operation on a batch of values at once, and thus provide a way +to significantly accelerate code execution. However, these instructions +differ between microprocessor vendors and compilers. + +xsimd provides a unified means for using these features for library +authors. Namely, it enables manipulation of batches of numbers with +the same arithmetic operators as for single values. It also provides +accelerated implementation of common mathematical functions operating +on batches. |
