libvolk-3.1.2p0
vector optimized library of kernels
Back to search · Project homepage
Description
VOLK is the Vector-Optimized Library of Kernels. It is a library that
contains kernels of hand-written SIMD code for different mathematical
operations. Since each SIMD architecture can be very different and no
compiler has yet come along to handle vectorization properly or highly
efficiently, VOLK approaches the problem differently.
For each architecture or platform that a developer wishes to vectorize
for, a new proto-kernel is added to VOLK. At runtime, VOLK will select
the correct proto-kernel. In this way, the users of VOLK call a kernel
for performing the operation that is platform/architecture agnostic.
This allows us to write portable SIMD code.
