A SIMD Image Manipulation Library

Warning

This is a learning project and not yet meant for production use!

Apply filters and effects on large amounts of texture data. Uses SIMD features on the device.

Overview

It is a burdensome to write and maintain portable SIMD code. Code that is hand crafted (either via assembly or intrinsics) for X64 will need to be re-written for ARM. It is a goal to ensure that generated SIMD code targets as many platforms and SIMD variants as possible. Merle uses Intel's Implicit SPMD Program Compiler (ISPC) for this purpose. While it is likely that hand-tuned assembly will beat SIMD generated by tools like ISPC, the goal is to write easily vectorizable code that is portable.
