Hi,
Yep. At present to multiply for 2^-1 I'm using in C:
static inline uint64_t d2_64(uint64_t v)
{
uint64_t mask = v & 0x0101010101010101U;
mask = (mask << 8) - mask;
v = (v >> 1) & 0x7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7fU;
v ^= mask & 0x8e8e8e8e8e8e8e8eU;
return v;
}
and for SSE2:
asm volatile("movdqa %xmm2,%xmm4");
asm volatile("pxor %xmm5,%xmm5");
asm volatile("psllw $7,%xmm4");
asm volatile("psrlw $1,%xmm2");
asm volatile("pcmpgtb %xmm4,%xmm5");
asm volatile("pand %xmm6,%xmm2"); with xmm6 == 7f7f7f7f7f7f...
asm volatile("pand %xmm3,%xmm5"); with xmm3 == 8e8e8e8e8e...
asm volatile("pxor %xmm5,%xmm2");
where xmm2 is the intput/output
Ciao,
Andrea
