Vector3 – SIMD 3D-vector C++ implementation

This is a simple C++ library implementing a mathematical 3D-vector class using SIMD instructions. It based on this version.

Example

test.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "vector3.h"

int main() {
    Vector3 a(1, 1, 1);
    Vector3 b(2, 0, -1);

    std::cout << "a:\t" << a << std::endl
              << "b:\t" << b << std::endl
              << "a.x:\t" << a.x << std::endl
              << "add:\t" << a + b << std::endl
              << "sub:\t" << a - b << std::endl
              << "dot:\t" << a.dot(b) << std::endl
              << "smult:\t" << 2 * b << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

compile

c++ -o test test.cpp vector3.cpp -msse4

outuput

a:	Vector3(1, 1, 1)
b:	Vector3(2, 0, -1)
a.x:	1
add:	Vector3(3, 1, 0)
sub:	Vector3(-1, 1, 2)
dot:	1
smult:	Vector3(4, 0, -2)

Supported operations

The provided class name is Vector3. All values are in floating-point precision.

• Element-wise addition
• Element-wise subtraction
• Element-wise multiplication
• Element-wise division
• Scalar addition
• Scalar subtraction
• Scalar multiplication
• Scalar division
• Dot product
• Normalization
• Norm computing
• Equality testing

The exhaustive list is available vector3.h.

Compiler flags

You need to enable SSE2, SEE3 and SSE4 instructions on your compiler. GCC / Clang use -msse4 to enable the needed instruction sets.

Compatibility notes

• This version uses SSE4 instructions and is not meant to be backward compatible.
• It is supposed to work on Linux, OS X and Windows, although it has not been extensively tested on every operating system.
