#7741: Add SIMD support to x86/x86_64 NCG -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: shelarcy | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (NCG) | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: SIMD Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Runtime | Unknown/Multiple performance bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #3557 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: wiki:SIMD | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by carter): Ben: what are your current thoughts about how to handle supporting different microarchitectures? 1) Allow generating the instructions but require the application to do cpu detection to avoid bad instructions ? (I’d be fine with that ) Or 2) add micro architecture logic to ghc compilation and have a fall back path? Or 3) some mix of both supported? I’d think near term 1 would be simpler to get working and 3 is what we want to love to -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7741#comment:18 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
