392015 SIMD High-Performance Computing in C (V+Ü) (WiSe 2026/2027)
Contents, comment
-
Modern CPUs provide SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) vector instructions which simultaneously apply the same operation to multiple elements. Peak performance of single cores can often only be reached if vector instructions are used. Vector instructions are automatically generated by compilers, but this approach has its limits. To fully exploit the SIMD capabilities, vector instructions can directly be used in the C programming language through "intrinsics". The lecture explains how vector intrinsics available for the Intel vector extensions (SSE, AVX, AVX-512) can be used to parallelize C programs. In the exercises, this knowledge is applied in programming projects.
