  1. …assembling machine code at runtime (useful for JIT). It's used by some of the pytorch back ends. https://github.com/herumi/xbyak Example use: https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneDNN/blob/main/src/cpu/aarch... I learned about these through a…

  2. …are lightweight libraries like xbyak or asmjit, where one can implement optimal jit solution. See https://github.com/herumi/xbyak/blob/80477f635345e8f13efc512... as a starting point.

  6. Is there anything like https://github.com/herumi/xbyak on the Rust side? I like this approach a lot for non-tivial high performance work since it lets you tweak your assembly for particular hardware at runtime.

  7. …perf is particularly impressive. It does, however, extensively use JIT kernel generation through https://github.com/herumi/xbyak depending on the supported features for a particular chip (search for "mayiuse()" in the code to see…

  8. …be pretty cool. Right now you have to drop down to non-portable, assembly-style JIT like Xbyak ( https://github.com/herumi/xbyak ) or VIXL on ARM ( https://community.arm.com/developer/ip-products/processors/b... ). It might not be obvious…

  9. Very nice, starred. There's also xbyak, which a number of projects use: https://github.com/herumi/xbyak . I just wish something like this was available for ARM. There's xtaak (ARM port of xbyak), but it's woefully incomplete.
