Ryeppp

This gem provides bindings to the Yeppp! library. According to the documentation, "Yeppp! is a high-performance SIMD-optimized mathematical library for x86, ARM, and MIPS processors on Windows, Android, Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux systems."

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ryeppp'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ryeppp

You'll also need to download the Yeppp! library and unpack it in $HOME.

Benchmarks

Since Yeppp! depends on your processor, using the library may or may not provide performance improvements, so it's important to benchmark your code on your own processor. A few benchmarks are provided, and the examples also provide performance comparisons.

To run the benchmarks, simply run

$ ruby lib/ryeppp/bench.rb

TODO

Add more benchmarks.
