How does this make any sense? NEON intrinsics are there to support code generation targeting the ARM NEON SIMD unit on the ARM architecture. Power/PowerPC as it's own AltiVec/VSX SIMD units, which in turn has it's own intrinsics. If you want write code that explicitly targets CPU execution units it's necessarily tied to that specific CPU architecture. If you just want to test code

...easy would be to do that, let alone if it's at all possible, but it seems that this is what you want. Correct me if I'm wrong. cheers, --renato -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hello Hal, I am not very familiar with the DSP capabilities of PowerPC, but I imagine there will be instructions for simple vector operations like vector addition, multiplication, etc. so for these I imagine the implementation would consist of just outputting the correct instruction. However, for NEON instructions like the reciprocal step (see
