[llvm-dev] RFC: SIMD math-function library

[Tian, Xinmin via llvm-dev]

It was open sourced for GCC. I will get you the contact who did open source. Thanks.

Xinmin.

Is it possible to see the source code of the open-sourced SVML? The diff file does not include the library. I searched the Internet but I could not find.

But,  Intel SVML is x86 centric (SSE2, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2 ....}. Personally, I am not sure if it would be fairly easy to port SVML to other architectures. SVML library team may provide a better answer, I will double check with them.
