Is there a masked-blend instruction on PowerPC?

I'm trying to perform a masked blend (on __vector types) on a PowerPC (POWER 8). When looking to the intrinsics (list available here) I can see a vector select, but nothing for the merge.

On x86 processors I know the intrinsic _mm256_blendv_ps, and I'm looking for something similar.

Thanks!

Solution

  • Actually vec_sel is doing exactly what I want. 

    result = vec_sel(result, src, mask);

    I just misread the instruction set.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.
