> 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.

- Magnitude: 0.0 out of 10 — Steady
- Stars: 5,913 total · Not enough measurements today
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## 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

## Why it’s here

- There are not enough fresh counter measurements for today's UTC day. The gain is unknown.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
