Package Details

Description Of The Library / Tool

(This is a different library than the volk currently in CCI)

VOLK is the Vector-Optimized Library of Kernels. It is a library that contains kernels of hand-written SIMD code for different mathematical operations. Since each SIMD architecture can be very different and no compiler has yet come along to handle vectorization properly or highly efficiently, VOLK approaches the problem differently.

Note: Volk builds differently if you enable orc or not. Ideally that could be an option. However as it stands orc is disabled so for now it would probably be wise to set it to disabled.

Contributor guide

Research direction
