Writing SSE code using compiler intrinsics is indeed a fun puzzle, but it has huge drawbacks: 1) it's Intel-specific, and 2) it's a maintenance risk unless everyone in the shop knows how to write and maintain SSE code. Unfortunately nobody else at my job knows how to do it, so I am not allowed to check any in :( |

Most platforms offer intrinsics.

This is understandable, but not the case where I work. If you need to be writing SIMD code and this is the case, then you need to hire programmers who can do it. That or convince them to learn, as (again) it's not that hard.
