The layout transformations are parametrised by the SIMD vector length. This adapts according to the architecture.
Presently SSE4 (128 bit) AVX, AVX2, QPX (256 bit), IMCI, and AVX512 (512 bit) targets are supported (ARM NEON on the way).
Presently SSE4, ARM NEON (128 bits) AVX, AVX2, QPX (256 bits), IMCI and AVX512 (512 bits) targets are supported.
These are presented as `vRealF`, `vRealD`, `vComplexF`, and `vComplexD` internal vector data types. These may be useful in themselves for other programmers.
These are presented as `vRealF`, `vRealD`, `vComplexF`, and `vComplexD` internal vector data types.
The corresponding scalar types are named `RealF`, `RealD`, `ComplexF` and `ComplexD`.
MPI, OpenMP, and SIMD parallelism are present in the library.

### Required libraries
Grid requires [GMP](https://gmplib.org/), [MPFR](http://www.mpfr.org/) and optionally [HDF5](https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/) and [LIME](http://usqcd-software.github.io/c-lime/) (for ILDG file format support) to be installed.
### Quick start
