SSE3 and Complex Arithmetics
The flexibility of SSE3 in dealing with AOS-type of data structure can
be demonstrated by the example of multiplication and division of
complex numbers. For example, a complex number can be stored in a
structure consisting of its real and imaginary part. This naturally leads to
the use of an array of structure. Example 5-11 demonstrates using SSE3
