CERN VDT (VectoriseD maTh) C++ Library for Fast Math

This project is a github mirror of CERN's VDT C++ Library implementing fast implementations of common mathematical functions. I'm providing a mirror for convenience and to add some tweaks to the buildsystem and interface to help usability in other projects.

Disclaimer

As it is a mirror, if you use this code, neither support nor performance can be guaranteed - you should contact the developers!

Reproduced below is the original ReadMe.txt which provides further details on the project, authors and license conditions.

VDT ReadMe.txt

VDT is a library of mathematical functions, implemented in double and single precision. The implementation is fast and with the aid of modern compilers (e.g. gcc 4.7) autovectorisable. For more information visit https://svnweb.cern.ch/trac/vdt

The basic idea is to exploit Pade polynomials. A lot of ideas were inspired by the cephes math library (by Stephen L. Moshier, [email protected]) as well as portions of actual code. The Cephes library can be found here: http://www.netlib.org/cephes

Implemented functions

  • log
  • exp
  • sin
  • cos
  • tan
  • asin
  • acos
  • atan
  • inverse sqrt
  • inverse (faster than division, based on isqrt)

To compile it:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$THEINSTALLDIR  .
make
make install

If you would like to compile the executables necessary for the diagnostics (cpu and arithmetic performance measurements) type

cmake -D DIAG=1 .
make

The executables will be put in the /bin directory.
