This is the second version of a patch for Aarc64 to add a vectorized mersenne twister to libstdc++. The first version used intrinsics and included "arm_neon.h". After feedback from the community this version uses only GCC vector extensions and Aarch64 simd data types.
This patch adds an vectorized implementation of the mersenne twister random
number generator. This implementation is approximately 2.6 times faster than
the non-vectorized implementation.
Sample code to use the new generator would look like this:
#include <random>
#include <ext/random>
#include <iostream>
int
main()
{
__gnu_cxx::sfmt19937 mt(1729);
std::uniform_int_distribution<int> dist(0,1008);
for (int i = 0; i < 16; ++i)
{
std::cout << dist(mt) << " ";
}
}
Okay for trunk?
