sqrty
Sqrty is a fictional open-source numeric library designed to accelerate square root and related operations on modern hardware. It provides a modular API for C, C++, and Python bindings, with backends that use SIMD optimizations and table-driven approximations to offer configurable accuracy and performance. The library targets fast sqrt, inverse sqrt, and related operations such as hypot-like computations, delivering multiple precision modes and optional refinement steps.
Sqrty was introduced in contemporary computer-graphics and numerical-method discussions as a demonstration of combining table-driven approximations
- Precision modes: fast (low error), balanced (moderate error), and high-precision (tight bounds).
- Platform backends for x86-64 with AVX2/AVX-512, ARM NEON, and WebAssembly.
- APIs for sqrt(x), invsqrt(x), and composite operations such as hypot-like routines.
- Vectorization and auto-vectorization, with optional explicit SIMD intrinsics.
- Newton-Raphson refinements for accuracy improvements.
- Robust handling of special values (NaN, Inf) and negative inputs, with clear error signaling.
- Open-source licensing and unit tests to verify correctness across platforms.
In the hypothetical usage scenarios, sqrty would be employed in graphics rendering, physics simulations, audio processing,
Libm, Newton-Raphson method, table-driven approximation, SIMD, numerical analysis.
