> Intel ISPC is a great project btw if you need high level code that targets SSE, AVX, AVX512 and even ARM NEON It's pretty funny how NEON ended up in there. A former Intel employee decided to implement it for fun and submitted it as a pull request, which Intel quietly ignored for obvious reasons, but then another former Intel employee who still had commit rights merged the PR, and the optics of publicly reverting it would be even worse than stonewalling so Intel begrudgingly let it stand (but they did revoke that devs commit rights). https://pharr.org/matt/blog/2018/04/29/ispc-retrospective |
