Intel Adds OpenMP Multi-Threading To Its Speedy x86-simd-sort Library

news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 19 May

Intel's x86-simd-sort open-source project is a C++ template library for high performance sorting routines that can leverage AVX2 and AVX-512 for crazy fast sorting. The x86-simd-sort code in turn is used by Numpy, more recently adopted by PyTorch too, and has shown off the great performance potential of AVX-512 for very fast sorting algorithms. Out today is x86-simd-sort 7.0 and it's even faster due to now supporting OpenMP parallelization...
