Boost.SIMD

Abstract

SIMD extensions have been a feature of choice for processor manufacturers for a couple of decades. Designed to exploit data parallelism in applications at the instruction level and provide significant accelerations, these extensions still require a high level of expertise or the use of potentially fragile compiler support or vendor-specific libraries. In this poster, we present Boost.SIMD a C++ template library that simplifies the exploitation of SIMD hardware within a standard C++ programming model.
