data block operations (aka simd)

ustk

Alright, so this works since block has a *= operator

void processBlock(block& d)
{
	d *= gain;
}

But obviously, this doesn't

void processBlock(block& d)
{
	d = Math.tanh(d * gain);
}

Question, would there be a way to optimise vector operations with more complex algorithm than *=, +=, etc...?

Christoph Hart

@ustk yes but with diminishing returns. If the complexity of the calculation increases, the performance benefit of vectorization gets less important.

Not super worth it IMHO.

@Christoph-Hart Ok I let it go then! Thanks!
