This package is not currently in any snapshots. If you're interested in using it, we recommend adding it to Stackage Nightly. Doing so will make builds more reliable, and allow stackage.org to host generated Haddocks.
This package provides a lifted version of the SIMD data types
and instructions from ghc-prim.
The implementation is based on type families to provide a
uniform interface to all different vector types. Instances
for numeric operations, Prim, Storable and unboxed vector
instances are provided.
Although not all processors support 256 or 512-bit vectors
this package provides a uniform interface. Vectors which
are bigger than supported are modeled by combining smaller
vectors. If the same code is compiled on a computer supporting
larger vectors the smaller vectors are replaced by larger
vectors.
Note: This package needs to be compiled with LLVM as the NCG
does not know how to deal with SIMD-instructions. If LLVM is
not available, use -f no-vec to disable the use of SIMD instructions.
While this will give you no speedup, it will work with plain
Haskell (and should even work with GHCJS).
