[Qemu-devel] QEmu TCG SIMD extension?

[Wei-Ren Chen]

Hi all,

While searching for QEMU SIMD issues, I found there was a paper presented
in 2011 [1], and the source code is also public on [2]. However, it seems
this project doesn't make any progress since last year. I update their
change to upstream and you can download from here:

  $ git clone git://github.com/azru0512/qemu.git -b neon-simd

Sadly, it can not boot the kernel image provided on [2]. Anyway, I
found there was only one thread has discussion on their work [3]. I want
to hear more feedback on their idea on adding SIMD TCG IR.
