Met preface this by saying that this is perhaps the most ridiculous question I've ever asked, I know what I am going to ask isn't ideal or a wise thing to do or try.
OK.
Is it possible to use Altivec to perform address addition and/or multiplication. An example scalar version:
Obviously this is out of context and not complete but hopefully the idea of what I was asking is clear. So if you could load a vector with the address of 'array' and then add to that address simultaneously the values of 'arrayAddition'...?
I'm missing something here, and I've tried figuring it out and looking at the AltivecPIM. To help put this in context, the question arose after a discussion with a collegue about vectorizing a piece of code that calculates 2D projections of 3D electron density maps in polar coordinates. He has already written the scalar version. If the above is possible then we could do this, but if not, then I'll have to try another route. Again, I know it's not ideal, but is it possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
