Higher-level SIMD utilities accessing partial (half-width) SIMD floats.

These functions are optional. The are only useful for SIMD implementation where the width is 8 or larger, and where it would be inefficient to process 4*8, 8*8, or more, interactions in parallel.

Currently, only Intel provides very wide SIMD implementations, but these also come with excellent support for loading, storing, accessing and shuffling parts of the register in so-called 'lanes' of 4 bytes each. We can use this to load separate parts into the low/high halves of the register in the inner loop of the nonbonded kernel, which e.g. makes it possible to process 4*4 nonbonded interactions as a pattern of 2*8. We can also use implementations with width 16 or greater.

To make this more generic, when GMX_SIMD_HAVE_HSIMD_UTIL_REAL is 1, the SIMD implementation provides seven special routines that:

  • Load the low/high parts of a SIMD variable from different pointers
  • Load half the SIMD width from one pointer, and duplicate in low/high parts
  • Load two reals, put 1st one in all low elements, and 2nd in all high ones.
  • Store the low/high parts of a SIMD variable to different pointers
  • Subtract both SIMD halves from a single half-SIMD-width memory location.
  • Load aligned pairs (LJ parameters) from two base pointers, with a common offset list, and put these in the low/high SIMD halves.
  • Reduce each half of two SIMD registers (i.e., 4 parts in total), increment four adjacent memory positions, and return the total sum.

Remember: this is ONLY used when the native SIMD width is large. You will just waste time if you implement it for normal 16-byte SIMD architectures.

This is part of the new C++ SIMD interface, so these functions are only available when using C++. Since some Gromacs code reliying on the SIMD module is still C (not C++), we have kept the C-style naming for now - this will change once we are entirely C++.
