Vector library for porting SSE2 instructions to other architectures
Credit to yhcheng for first providing a PPC64 port of the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner which helped me expand on the instructions. PPC64 Altivec instructions are provided in vec128int.h which depends on veclib_types.h.
To use in a project that uses SSE2 instructions simply place vec128int.h, vec128intlib.c, vec128intlib.h, and vec_libtypes.h in the same directory your C/C++ source file calling SSE2 instructions is in. Replace all instances of #include <emmintrin.h> with #include "vec128intlib.h". Add vec128intlib.o to the makefile and it should compile fine. Note that not all SSE2 instructions have been ported over so you may get errors for those functions. Also some instructions only work on POWER8 or newer. Those instructions are marked in vec128intlib.c and vec128intlib.h.
The IBM POWER vector intrinsinc functions library can be downloaded from the IBM developerWorks website.
Below are some integer SSE2 instructions I've managed to port to Altivec using veclib-1.0.4.
For big-endian platforms only the shift left/right operations are reversed.
