Welcome to VOLK!

VOLK is the Vector-Optimized Library of Kernels. It is a library that contains
kernels of hand-written SIMD code for different mathematical operations. Since
each SIMD architecture can be very different and no compiler has yet come along
to handle vectorization properly or highly efficiently, VOLK approaches the
problem differently.

For each architecture or platform that a developer wishes to vectorize for, a
new proto-kernel is added to VOLK. At runtime, VOLK will select the correct
proto-kernel. In this way, the users of VOLK call a kernel for performing the
operation that is platform/architecture agnostic. This allows us to write
portable SIMD code.
