simde VS nsimd

I was curious about these libraries a few weeks ago and did some searching. Is there one that's got a clearly dominating set of users or contributors?

I don't know what a good way to compare these might be, other than perhaps activity/contributor count.

I note that SIMDe doesn't have RISC-V support yet (but it does support Loongson LoongArch):

There are still a ton of things to do to get the Debian riscv64 port going too:

SIMDe is everything you're after: https://github.com/simd-everywhere/simde

> low level code that can run on multiple hardware architectures

I thought SIMD Everywhere was a pretty interesting project for that, lets you write x86 SSE/AVX code and run it on non-x86 architectures:

https://github.com/simd-everywhere/simde

> architecture-specific features such as SSE/AVX which is not portable.

I don’t have hands-on experience, but somewhere on HN I saw this: https://github.com/simd-everywhere/simde If starting a new cross-platform project today, I would try that library first, before doing the usual intrinsics.

I've decided to switch to something better, and after a few hours of searching, I found this repository: NSIMD https://github.com/agenium-scale/nsimd FastDifferentialCoding https://github.com/lemire/FastDifferentialCoding VS https://github.com/VcDevel/Vc XSIMD https://github.com/xtensor-stack/xsimd

> - Waiting for Cross-Platform standardized SIMD vector datatypes

which language has standardized SIMD vector datatypes ? most languages don't even have any ability to express SIMD while in C++ I can just use Vc (https://github.com/VcDevel/Vc), nsimd (https://github.com/agenium-scale/nsimd) or one of the other ton of alternatives, and have stuff that JustWorksTM on more architectures than most languages even support

- Using nonstandard extensions, libraries or home-baked solutions to run computations in parallel on many cores or on different processors than the CPU

what are the other native languages with a standardized memory model for atomics ? and, what's the problem with using libraries ? it's not like you're going to use C# or Java's built-in threadpools if you are doing any serious work, no ? Do they even have something as easy to use as https://github.com/taskflow/taskflow ?

- Debugging cross-platform code using couts, cerrs and printfs

because people never use console.log in JS or System.println in C# maybe ?

- Forced to use boost for even quite elementary operations on std::strings.

can you point to non-trivial java projects that do not use Apache Commons ? Also, the boost string algorithms are header-only so you will end up with exactly the same binaries that if it was in some std::string_algorithms namespace:
