If you are interested in support for a specific architecture, you may want [stdarch] instead.

## Hello World
|
||||
|
||||
Now we're gonna dip our toes into this world with a small SIMD "Hello, World!" example. Make sure your compiler is up to date and using `nightly`. We can do that by running
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
rustup update -- nightly
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
or by setting up `rustup default nightly` or else with `cargo +nihgtly {build,test, run}`. After updating, run
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo new hellosimd
|
||||
```
|
||||
to create a new crate. Edit `hellosimd/Cargo.toml` to be
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[package]
|
||||
name = "hellosimd"
|
||||
version = "0.1.0"
|
||||
edition = "2018"
|
||||
[dependencies]
|
||||
core_simd = { git = "https://github.com/rust-lang/stdsimd" }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and finally write this in `src/main.rs`:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use core_simd::*;
|
||||
fn main() {
|
||||
let a = f32x4::splat(10.0);
|
||||
let b = f32x4::from_array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]);
|
||||
println!("{:?}", a + b);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Explanation: We import all the bindings from the crate with the first line. Then, we construct our SIMD vectors with methods like `splat` or `from_array`. Finally, we can use operators on them like `+` and the appropriate SIMD instructions will be carried out. When we run `cargo run` you should get `[11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0]`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Code Organization
|
||||
|
||||
Currently the crate is organized so that each element type is a file, and then the 64-bit, 128-bit, 256-bit, and 512-bit vectors using those types are contained in said file.
