Brainstorming: Noise optimization

[worktycho]

Only thing about noise is its something that is extremely suited to vectorization. However it isn't vectorized automatically because of the noise generation spanning several functions and combining several operations is less common than loop vectorization. I tried some experiments at using the clang and gcc vector extensions but they did not seem to generate sse instructions (other than scalar floating point). It might be worthwhile to use macros to rewrite the code to use sse/avx or neon if available if youre looking at paralleling but that would reduce readability. For example sse2 which is in all x64 machines can preform 4 calculations simultaniously so it might be worth thinking about generating vectors rather than arrays.
