In a simd-tutorial i found the following code-snippet. void simd(float* a, int N) { // We assume N % 4 == 0. int nb_iters = N / 4; __m128* ptr = reinterpret_cast<__m128*>(a); // (...

According to https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/_005f_005fatomic-Builtins.html, there's: type __atomic_load_n (type *ptr, int memorder) and (the "generic"): void __atomic_load (type *ptr, type ...

I've got some code that works with __m128 values. I'm using x86-64 SSE intrinsics on these values and I find that if the values are unaligned in memory I get a crash. This is due to my compiler (cl...

Calling _mm_load_ps returns an __m128. In the Intel intrinsics guide it says: Load 128-bits (composed of 4 packed single-precision (32-bit) floating-point elements) from memory into dst. mem_add...

How does one efficiently perform horizontal addition with floats in a 512-bit AVX register (ie add the items from a single vector together)? For 128 and 256 bit registers this can be done using _mm...

If my understanding is correct, _mm_movehdup_ps(a) gives the same result as _mm_shuffle_ps(a, a, _MM_SHUFFLE(1, 1, 3, 3))? Is there a performance difference the two?
