Compilers usually do this, but only when the +divisor is known at compile time. libdivide allows you to take advantage of it +at runtime. The result is that integer division can become faster - a lot +faster. + +Furthermore, libdivide allows you to divide SIMD vectors by runtime constants, +which is especially nice because SIMD typically lacks integer division. + +WWW: https://libdivide.com/ +WWW: https://github.com/ridiculousfish/libdivide/ |
