I think we are essentially reinventing SSE, AVX & friends from first principles. This is already being done. Compare the speed of libjpegturbo to a non-vectorized implementation and you'll find a 2-4x difference in throughput.
- po1nt 2mo agoIsn't any external accelerator just reinventing SSE and AVX? CPU is a general purpose processor it could do GPU's job but we don't force it to, because it's faster to do it on external accelerator.
