I found surprisingly little material about "how to program AVX/AVX2". That said here's what I used so far:
* Intel AVX Programming Reference [0] - comprehensive but not very useful as "where do I even start"
* Godbolt[1] to look at code samples produced by compilers. This is good to see how the instructions work together.
* A random discussion that has *some* concepts behind the YMM registers[2]
* Stack Overflow, for example [3]

- JimBlackwood 5y agoThank you! Sorry for the late response, I always seem to miss responses to my posts. I had been struggling with the same thing, but these are some great sources. Thanks :)
