   I don't think inline assembly solves the problem. If I optimize any worthwhile problem, I would be smart to do it in a way that is accessible from every modern language.

   My opinion, ensuring zero overhead and zero boilerplate code for calling external libraries will solve the SIMD problem. Anything worth vectorizing will be written in C/assembly.

   Just for fun I bench marked the function found at the end of the post, disregarding accuracy for the moment. If you call this function on a single value at a time, the MSFT log function will take twice as long to generate a full accuracy pr

   Or why a number of already vectorized (read: faster) off the shelf low precision log functions were not adequate.

   I don't think any sort of SIMD data type is necessary. There are so many wrappers/libraries for this already, and so many different requirements and nuances to be able to make a one size fits all data type. There are hundreds(thou

   I am assuming a vectorized version of the function will appear in a later update, which is why frexp is not used. Range reduction -> polynomial -> scale is the process an expert/book will recommend for log functions.

   As someone who is pure CS who hated EE, I now work in an EE shop as the only programmer performing most of the PC based DSP work, and the only thing I would recommend is this, http://www.dspguide.com/pdfbook.htm .
