Embodiments are directed to implementing a generic SIMD data type in software code. In an embodiment, a computer system accesses a portion of software code that includes an algorithm with a generic SIMD data type that includes a variable number of elements. The algorithm with the generic SIMD data type is to be processed by a specific processor that includes various specific hardware features. The computer system determines at runtime a portion of customized processor-specific code that is to be used with the specified processor based on the generic SIMD data type, wherein the runtime determination resolves the number of elements that are to be used with the specified processor. The computer system also processes the software code including the algorithm with the generic SIMD data type using the determined, customized processor-specific code. |
