Adding new target requires defining all ISPC intrinsics in terms of target platform primitives (either as LLVM IR code or LLVM intrinsics). Though with given infrastructure it should not be that hard, at least to the point of making it work for the most of the cases.
For AVX2 i8 target and i8x32 SSE target, we just didn't see much interest in it. On Wed, Nov 1, 2017 at 10:53 AM, Bruno Martínez <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks. That almost fixed it, Dmitry.
