# `ispc` Benchmarks

Here lies some naive benchmarks to see the performance benefits when adding
large counts of floating-point values using `ispc`.

## Dependencies

- GNU Make
- GCC (At least 4.9)
- [`ispc`](http://ispc.github.io/)
- [Intel Threading Building Blocks](https://www.threadingbuildingblocks.org)
- [Google Benchmark](https://github.com/google/benchmark)

You will also need a CPU that has the AVX intruction set. You can replace the
intrinsics to target SSE or any other architecture as required. Here are a
couple of helpful links for finding the appropriate functions and headers:
