Dear swipe team,

I am wondering whether this could be also run on Apple ARM64/aarch64 CPUs, which is a different SIMD idea. There are sse2neon.h here: https://github.com/mengyao/Complete-Striped-Smith-Waterman-Library/blob/master/src/sse2neon.h

Thanks,

Jianshu

Dear @jianshu93,

Thanks for your suggestion. This is something I have considered, but it would require a substantial amount of work, and at the moment I do not have time to do it.
