Description
Hi everyone!
This is the VOLK v3.2.0 release! We want to thank all contributors.
This release wouldn't have been possible without them.
Thanks to Olaf Bernstein, VOLK received well optimized RiscV implementations for almost every kernel.
Together with the appropriate CI, this contribution makes VOLK way more powerful on a whole new architecture.
We started to use gtest as an additional test framework. The current "one kinda test fits all" approach is often insufficient to test kernels where they really should not fail.
Now, this approach should allow us to implement more powerful tests more easily.
Besides the x86 platform, we see more and more ARM activity. The corresponding kernels can now be tested natively on Linux and MacOS.
This approach is way faster than before with QEMU. A single job runs in ~1min instead of ~12min now.
