Vc Documentation

The Vc library implements portable, zero-overhead C++ types for explicitly data-parallel programming.

The 1.x releases ship implementations for x86 SIMD instruction sets: SSE, AVX, AVX2, and the Xeon Phi (MIC). A scalar implementation ensures full portability to any C++11 capable compiler and target system.

This documentation is structured in three main areas:

1. Several manually written documentation pages in the Overview Documents. They cover an introduction to SIMD and data-parallelism, portability issues, macros, how to set up the build system, and examples / tutorials.
   • Introduction
   • Portability Issues
   • Pre-defined Macros
   • Feature Macros
   • Build System
   • Examples
2. The API Reference section contains a manually structured access to the API documentation generated from the Vc sources.
   • Vectors
   • Masks
   • SIMD Array
   • simdize<T>
   • Math
   • Utilities
   • Containers
3. The Indexes section contains automatically generated indexes to the same API documentation.
