Add ARM neon SIMD backend #44

Open dangmoody opened 3 years ago

dangmoody commented 3 years ago

Machines with ARM ISAs are becoming more present so it's probably a good idea to make HLML support it.

Not sure how much work this will be but hopefully it's not going to be a massive amount.

Will testing on a Raspberry Pi be sufficient?

Possibly sse2neon could be used instead with essentially no work required.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion!

The SIMD API of HLML needs to be heavily refactored anyway, so I can look at adding support for things like this as part of the work that I'll end up doing (there are a few problems with HLML's SIMD API that need addressing for it to be useful, but I get slightly closer with each iteration).

Haven't given that library a proper read through yet (I only skimmed it), but I will do so later this week and get back to you. 🙂
