simdize<T>

Detailed Description

Automatic type vectorization.

The simdize<T> expression transforms the type T to a vectorized variant. This requires the type T to be a class template instance.

Example: First, we declare a class template for a three-dimensional point. The template parameter T determines the type of the members and is float in the scalar (classical) case.

template <typename T> struct PointTemplate
{
T x, y, z;
// Declares tuple_size and makes the members accessible via get<N>(point), allowing
// the simdize implementation to convert between Point and PointV (see below).
Vc_SIMDIZE_INTERFACE((x, y, z));
PointTemplate(T xx, T yy, T zz) : x{xx}, y{yy}, z{zz} {};
// The following function will automatically be vectorized in the PointV type.
T distance_to_origin() const { return std::sqrt(x * x + y * y + z * z); }
};

In the following we create a type alias for the scalar type, which simply means instantiating PointTemplate with float. The resulting type can then be transformed with simdize.

using Point = PointTemplate<float>; // A simple struct with three floats and two functions.
using PointV = Vc::simdize<Point>; // The vectorization of Point stores three float_v and thus
// float_v::size() Points.

The following shows a code example using the above Point and PointV types.

PointV pv = Point{0.f, 1.f, 2.f}; // Constructs a PointV containing PointV::size()
// copies of Point{0, 1, 2}.
for (int i = 1; i < int(pv.size()); ++i) {
assign(pv, i, {i + 0.f, i + 1.f, i + 2.f});
}
const Vc::float_v l = pv.distance_to_origin();
std::cout << l << '\n';
// prints [2.23607, 3.74166, 5.38516, 7.07107, 8.77496, 10.4881, 12.2066, 13.9284] with
// float_v::size() == 8
const Point most_distant = extract(pv, (l.max() == l).firstOne());
std::cout << '(' << most_distant.x << ", " << most_distant.y << ", " << most_distant.z << ")\n";
// prints (7, 8, 9) with float_v::size() == 8

Definition: vector.h:257

Declares functions and constants for introspection by the simdize functions. This allows e.g. conversion between scalar T and simdize<T>.

Parameters
MEMBERS_The data members of this struct/class listed inside extra parenthesis. The extra parenthesis are required because the macro would otherwise see a variable number of arguments.

Example:

template <typename T, typename U> struct X {
T a;
U b;
Vc_SIMDIZE_INTERFACE((a, b));
};
Note
You must use this macros in the public section of a class.

Typedef Documentation

using simdize = SimdizeDetail::simdize<T, N, MT>

Vectorize/Simdize the given type T.

Template Parameters
TThis type must be a class template instance where the template arguments can be recursively replaced with their vectorized variant. If the type implements a specific interface for introspection and member modification, the resulting type can easily be constructed from objects of type T and scalar objects of type T can be extracted from it.
NThis value determines the width of the vectorization. Per default it is set to 0 making the implementation choose the value considering the compilation target and the given type T.
MTThis type determines the type to be used when replacing bool with Mask<MT>. If it is set to void the implementation choosed the type as smart as possible.

Function Documentation

Adapter<S, T, N> Vc::SimdizeDetail::shifted ( const Adapter< S, T, N > &  a,
int  shift 
)
inline

Returns a new vectorized object where each entry is shifted by shift.

This basically calls Vector<T>::shifted on every entry.

Parameters
aThe object to apply the shift on.
shiftThe number of entries to shift by.
Returns
a copy of a shifted by shift.
