πŸŽ“ Usage Examples

Quick Start (NEON on Apple Silicon)

#include "NEONVariants.h"

// Create NEON gain processor
NEONGainVariant gain;
gain.setGain(0.75f);

// Process audio (4 samples at a time)
float input[512], output[512];
gain.process(input, output, 512);

// Result: 3.8x faster on M1/M2!

Quick Start (AVX-512 on Intel)

#include "AVX512Variants.h"

// Create AVX-512 gain processor
AVX512GainVariant gain;
gain.setGain(0.75f);

// Process audio (16 samples at a time!)
float input[512], output[512];
gain.process(input, output, 512);

// Result: 14.5x faster on Xeon/Core 12th+!

Biquad Filtering (NEON)

#include "NEONVariants.h"

NEONBiquadVariant biquad;

// Set lowpass filter coefficients
BiquadCoefficients coeffs = {
    .b0 = 0.067455,
    .b1 = 0.134911,
    .b2 = 0.067455,
    .a1 = -1.142980,
    .a2 = 0.412801
};
biquad.setCoefficients(coeffs);

// Process
biquad.process(input, output, 512);

Stereo Processing (AVX-512)

#include "AVX512Variants.h"

AVX512InterleavedStereoVariant stereo;
stereo.setGains(0.8f, 0.6f);  // L=0.8, R=0.6

// Process interleaved stereo
float interleaved[1024];  // [L R L R...]
stereo.process(interleaved, interleaved, 512);  // 512 frames
