template Vector(T)
Create a vector type.

Parameters T = one of double[2], float[4], void[16], byte[16], ubyte[16], short[8], ushort[8], int[4], uint[4], long[2], ulong[2]. For 256 bit vectors, one of double[4], float[8], void[32], byte[32], ubyte[32], short[16], ushort[16], int[8], uint[8], long[4], ulong[4]

alias void16 = __vector(void[16]);
alias double2 = __vector(double[2]);
alias float4 = __vector(float[4]);
alias byte16 = __vector(byte[16]);
alias ubyte16 = __vector(ubyte[16]);
alias short8 = __vector(short[8]);
alias ushort8 = __vector(ushort[8]);
alias int4 = __vector(int[4]);
alias uint4 = __vector(uint[4]);
alias long2 = __vector(long[2]);
alias ulong2 = __vector(ulong[2]);

pure nothrow @nogc @safe void16 __simd(XMM opcode, void16 op1, void16 op2);
Generate two operand instruction with XMM 128 bit operands.
This is a compiler magic function - it doesn't behave like regular D functions.

Parameters opcode = any of the XMM opcodes; it must be a compile time constant op1 = first operand op2 = second operand

Returns:
result of opcode
Examples:
float4 a;
a = cast(float4)__simd(XMM.PXOR, a, a);
pure nothrow @nogc @safe void16 __simd(XMM opcode, void16 op1);
Unary SIMD instructions.
pure nothrow @nogc @safe void16 __simd(XMM opcode, double d);
pure nothrow @nogc @safe void16 __simd(XMM opcode, float f);
Examples:
float4 a;
a = cast(float4)__simd(XMM.LODSS, a);
pure nothrow @nogc @safe void16 __simd(XMM opcode, void16 op1, void16 op2, ubyte imm8);
For instructions: CMPPD, CMPSS, CMPSD, CMPPS, PSHUFD, PSHUFHW, PSHUFLW, BLENDPD, BLENDPS, DPPD, DPPS, MPSADBW, PBLENDW, ROUNDPD, ROUNDPS, ROUNDSD, ROUNDSS

Parameters opcode = any of the above XMM opcodes; it must be a compile time constant op1 = first operand op2 = second operand imm8 = third operand; must be a compile time constant

Returns:
result of opcode
Examples:
float4 a;
a = cast(float4)__simd(XMM.CMPPD, a, a, 0x7A);
pure nothrow @nogc @safe void16 __simd_ib(XMM opcode, void16 op1, ubyte imm8);
For instructions with the imm8 version: PSLLD, PSLLQ, PSLLW, PSRAD, PSRAW, PSRLD, PSRLQ, PSRLW, PSRLDQ, PSLLDQ

Parameters opcode = any of the XMM opcodes; it must be a compile time constant op1 = first operand imm8 = second operand; must be a compile time constant

Returns:
result of opcode
Examples:
float4 a;
a = cast(float4) __simd_ib(XMM.PSRLQ, a, 0x7A);
pure nothrow @nogc @safe void16 __simd_sto(XMM opcode, void16 op1, void16 op2);
For "store" operations of the form: op1 op= op2
Returns:
op2 These cannot be marked as pure, as semantic() doesn't check them.
pure nothrow @nogc @safe void16 __simd_sto(XMM opcode, double op1, void16 op2);
pure nothrow @nogc @safe void16 __simd_sto(XMM opcode, float op1, void16 op2);
Examples:
void16 a;
float f = 1;
double d = 1;

cast(void)__simd_sto(XMM.STOUPS, a, a);
cast(void)__simd_sto(XMM.STOUPS, f, a);
cast(void)__simd_sto(XMM.STOUPS, d, a);
void prefetch(bool writeFetch, ubyte locality)(const(void)* address);
Emit prefetch instruction.
Parameters:
const(void)* address address to be prefetched
writeFetch true for write fetch, false for read fetch
locality 0..3 (0 meaning least local, 3 meaning most local)

Note The Intel mappings are:
