|
||||||
|
* Overview
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The SIMD math library (SIMD math lib) is a SIMDized version of the
|
||||||
|
C99 standard math library (libm).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* License
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This library is licensed under the terms in the file 'LICENSE' in
|
||||||
|
this directory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Installing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To install this library, run following commands:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- 32 bit mode PowerPC with VMX
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ make ARCH=ppu
|
||||||
|
$ make ARCH=ppu install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- 64 bit mode PowerPC with VMX
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ make ARCH=ppu64
|
||||||
|
$ make ARCH=ppu64 install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- SPU (Cell Broadband Engine Synergistic Processor Unit)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ make ARCH=spu
|
||||||
|
$ make ARCH=spu install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The same library is created and installed for SPU regardless of
|
||||||
|
PPU's mode.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By default, files in the library will be placed as below:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- libraries (except SPU library)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/usr/lib/libsimdmath.a (static library)
|
||||||
|
/usr/lib/libsimdmath.so (shared library)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- headers (except SPU headers)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/usr/lib/simdmath.h (main header)
|
||||||
|
/usr/lib/simdmath/<FUNCTION>.h (header of inline version)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- SPU library
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/usr/spu/lib/libsimdmath.a (static library)
|
||||||
|
(no shared library for SPU)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- SPU headers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/usr/spu/lib/simdmath.h (main header)
|
||||||
|
/usr/spu/lib/simdmath/<FUNCTION>.h (header of inline version)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Packaging
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By running following command in this directory, a source tarball
|
||||||
|
'simdmath-<VERSION>.tar.gz' can be created:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ make dist
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also create RPM packages by executing the command below with
|
||||||
|
the tarball:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ rpmbuild -tb simdmath-1.0.1.tar.gz --target=ppc
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Three packages, simdmath, simdmath-devel and spu-simdmath-devel,
|
||||||
|
will be created.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Quick start
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Including headers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You must include the header simdmat.h in your source code, as
|
||||||
|
following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
e.g.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#include <simdmath.h>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to use inlined version of the functions, you need to
|
||||||
|
include simdmath/<FUNCTION>.h instead of simdmath.h:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
e.g.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#include <simdmath/sinf4.h>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Linking with library
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you use non-inlined version of the library, you need to link
|
||||||
|
the library libsimdmath.a or libsimdmath.so:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
e.g.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ gcc -o foo foo.o -lsimdmath
|
||||||
|
$ spu-gcc -o bar bar.o -lsimdmath
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Function reference
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To obtain details about each function in this library, the
|
||||||
|
specification document "SIMD Math Library Specification for Cell
|
||||||
|
Broadband Engine Architecture" is avaiable at
|
||||||
|
"http://cell.scei.co.jp/".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that the name of each inlined version of function is prefixed
|
||||||
|
by a character '_' against the corresponding non-inlined one.
