#### 6.57.4 ARC SIMD Built-in Functions

SIMD builtins provided by the compiler can be used to generate the vector instructions. This section describes the available builtins and their usage in programs. With the `-msimd` option, the compiler provides 128-bit vector types, which can be specified using the `vector_size` attribute. The header file `arc-simd.h` can be included to use the following predefined types:

         typedef int __v4si   __attribute__((vector_size(16)));
         typedef short __v8hi __attribute__((vector_size(16)));

These types can be used to define 128-bit variables. The built-in functions listed in the following section can be used on these variables to generate the vector operations.

For all builtins, `__builtin_arc_`someinsn, the header file `arc-simd.h` also provides equivalent macros called `_`someinsn that can be used for programming ease and improved readability. The following macros for DMA control are also provided:

         #define _setup_dma_in_channel_reg _vdiwr
         #define _setup_dma_out_channel_reg _vdowr

The following is a complete list of all the SIMD built-ins provided for ARC, grouped by calling signature.
