Vector-aware

Checks if vector instructions are supported Determines whether the target architecture supports advanced vector processing capabilities beyond basic SIMD. Vector instructions typically provide more sophisticated parallel processing features than basic SIMD.

Vector Instruction Support

• x86_64: Advanced vector extensions (AVX, AVX2, AVX-512)
• ARM64: Advanced NEON, Scalable Vector Extensions (SVE)
• RISC-V 64: RISC-V Vector Extension (RVV)
• Other architectures: Limited or experimental vector support

Capabilities

• Variable-length vectors: Adapt to hardware capabilities
• Advanced operations: Predication, gather/scatter, reduction
• Scalable performance: Efficient across different vector widths

Returns

true if advanced vector instruction support is available

Note

This function is constexpr and evaluates at compile time

This checks architectural capability, not runtime availability
