Architecture manipulation
=========================

xsimd provides an high level description of the instruction sets it manipulates.
The mentioned types are primarily used as template parameters for :ref:`batch
<xsimd-batch-ref>`, and when interacting with :cpp:func:`xsimd::dispatch()`.

The best available architecture is available at compile time through
``xsimd::best_arch`` which also happens to be ``xsimd::default_arch``.

Emulated mode
-------------

When compiled with the macro ``XSIMD_WITH_EMULATED`` set to ``1``, xsimd also
exhibits a specific architecture ``xsimd::emulated<N>``, which consists of a
vector of ``N`` bits emulated using scalar mode.
It is mostly available for testing and debugging.
