I’m doing some work where SIMD is required and I need to do operations on an array of doubles. Do any of the mainstream architectures support this? I’ve only seen floating point operations.
Thanks in Advance, Stefan

Yes, x86 can do it with the SSE2 instructions. A CELL too, although it’s performance is pretty awful when doing double-precision computations.
