The experimental JavaScript SIMD API introduces vector objects that utilize SIMD/SSE instructions on supporting CPUs; SIMD is short for Single Instruction/Multiple Data. SIMD operations are methods that process multiple data with a single instruction. In contrary, scalar operations (SISD) process only one individual data with a single instruction.

SIMD (pronounced "sim-dee") is short for Single Instruction/Multiple Data which is one classification of computer architectures. SIMD operations perform the same computation on multiple data points resulting in data level parallelism and thus performance gains, for example for 3D graphics and video processing, physics simulations or cryptography, and other domains.

Experimental JavaScript SIMD

The static SIMD.%type%.abs() method returns a new SIMD data type with absolute values. This operation exists only on floating point SIMD types.

Experimental JavaScript Method SIMD

The static SIMD.%type%.add() method returns a new instance with the lane values added (a + b).

Experimental JavaScript Method SIMD

The static SIMD.%type%.addSaturate() method returns a new instance with the lane values added (a + b) and saturating behavior on overflow.

Experimental JavaScript Method SIMD

The static SIMD.%BooleanType%.allTrue() method returns a Boolean indicating whether or not all lanes hold a true value.

Experimental JavaScript Method SIMD

The static SIMD.%type%.and() method returns a new instance with the logical AND of the lane values (a & b). This operation exists only on integer and boolean SIMD types.

Experimental JavaScript Method SIMD

The static SIMD.%BooleanType%.anyTrue() method returns a Boolean indicating whether or not any of the lanes hold a true value.

Experimental JavaScript SIMD

The static SIMD.%type%.check() method returns a SIMD data type if the parameter is a valid SIMD data type and the same as %type%. Otherwise, a TypeError is thrown.

Experimental JavaScript Method SIMD

The static SIMD.%type%.div() method returns a new instance with the lane values divided (a / b). This function is defined only on floating point SIMD types.

Experimental JavaScript Method SIMD

The static SIMD.%type%.equal() method returns a selection mask with values depending on a strict equality comparison (a === b) in each lane.
