Why is LoopVectorization deprecated?

[lmiq]

I’m not sure how general this is, but here is one example of “manual” loop vectorization:

Julia & Mojo Mandelbrot Benchmark

This one runs 5x 8x faster then the original julia example posted here, and illustrates nicely how something like ComplexSIMD can be defined quite easily in Julia: const xn = 960 const yn = 960 const xmin = -2.0 const xmax = 0.6 const ymin = -1.5 const ymax = 1.5 const MAX_ITERS = 200 struct ComplexSIMD{N,T} re::NTuple{N,T} im::NTuple{N,T} end Base.abs2(z::ComplexSIMD) = z.re .* z.re .+ z.im .* z.im Base.:(*)(a::ComplexSIMD, b::ComplexSIMD) = ComplexSIMD( a.re .* b.re .- a.im .* b…

Probably, for the time being, people wanting to recover the performance of LV should study how to do something of the sort in their own problems.
