Neon and related #4

Closed jianshu93 closed 1 year ago

jianshu93 commented 2 years ago

Hello Daniel,

Can you please show some example on how to support Neon on MacOS M1 and M1 Pro/Max with this? Another question is related: the simdeez library only supports avx2 and sse2. How to allow support for neon, which library?

THanks,

Jianshu

It would require a bit of work to support Neon with the library as it is currently. My implementation directly uses my own wrapper for SIMD instructions, so a separate wrapper needs to be made for Neon. Do you need this feature?

I'm not sure how simdeez works in detail, since I did not use it in this library.

Just chiming in to say that I'm actively using block-aligner, and have moved to an M1* laptop recently, and would also really like neon support. I have several reasons for keeping an older x86 laptop around, but they are dwindling fast, and this is one of them.

Neon support should be added in the latest commit (PR #17)!

Tests showed that it works on my m1 pro.

Many thanks！

Jianshu
