How do I know if my address is 16 byte aligned?
How do I know if my address is 16 byte aligned?
If the address is 16 byte aligned, these must be zero. Notice the lower 4 bits are always 0. The cryptic if statement now becomes very clear and intuitive. We simply mask the upper portion of the address, and check if the lower 4 bits are zero.
What does it mean to be 16 byte aligned?
Data that’s aligned on a 16 byte boundary will have a memory address that’s an even number — strictly speaking, a multiple of two. Each byte is 8 bits, so to align on a 16 byte boundary, you need to align to each set of two bytes.
What is data alignment in pandas?
Pandas Align basically helps to align the two dataframes have the same row and/or column configuration and as per their documentation it Align two objects on their axes with the specified join method for each axis Index.
Are stack variables aligned?
Alignment on the stack is always a problem and it’s best to get into the habit of avoiding it.
What does it mean to align the stack?
So to align something in memory means to rearrange data (usually through padding) so that the desired item’s address will have enough zero bytes.
Is malloc aligned?
Regular malloc aligns memory suitable for any object type (which, in practice, means that it is aligned to alignof(max_align_t)). This function is useful for over-aligned allocations, such as to SSE, cache line, or VM page boundary.
What happens if address is not 16 byte aligned?
If the address is 16 byte aligned, these must be zero. Notice the lower 4 bits are always 0. The cryptic if statement now becomes very clear and intuitive. We simply mask the upper portion of the address, and check if the lower 4 bits are zero. If they aren’t, the address isn’t 16 byte aligned and we need to pre-heat our SIMD loop.
What happens if the memory address is 16 byte?
What remains is the lower 4 bits of our memory address. If the address is 16 byte aligned, these must be zero. Notice the lower 4 bits are always 0. The cryptic if statement now becomes very clear and intuitive. We simply mask the upper portion of the address, and check if the lower 4 bits are zero.

What should I know about memory alignment in SIMD?
When working with SIMD intrinsics, it helps to have a thorough understanding of computer memory. In this post, I hope to shed some light on a really simple but essential operation to figure out if memory is aligned at a 16 byte boundary.
