About the project
A C++ library of portable SIMD intrinsics: one codebase targets x86 (AVX2/AVX512), ARM NEON, WASM and more, with runtime instruction-set dispatch. Aimed at engineers who need performance without tying code to a specific CPU.
Useful for
- Speed up image or video processing by replacing scalar loops with vector operations
- Build a cross-platform library with a single codebase for x86, ARM and WASM
- Add runtime dispatch so the app picks the best SIMD instruction set on each device

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 7, 2026, 12:58 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- There are not enough fresh counter measurements for today's UTC day. The gain is unknown.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
The full 7-day window is unavailable; no weekly total or comparison is calculated.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
