          <p>
            There are a number of resources available to learn how to write
            programs with <tt class="docutils literal">ispc</tt>.
          </p>
        </section>

        <section class="getting-started-section">
          <h2>Getting Started</h2>
          <p>To get started with the language, there is
            a <a href="example.html">walkthrough of a simple program</a>
            written in <tt class="docutils literal">ispc</tt> that highlights some of the main
            features and language constructs.</p>
        </section>

        <section class="guides-section">
          <h2>User Guides</h2>
          <p>After reading the example, see the <a href="ispc.html">User's
            Guide</a>, which provides a complete reference to the language
            and standard library, and <a href="ispc_for_xe.html">ISPC for Xe
            user's guide</a> for additional information about GPU support.
            You may also find that
            the <a href="perfguide.html">Performance Guide</a> provides useful
            information about getting best results from the system.</p>
        </section>

        <section class="examples-section">
          <h2>Examples</h2>
          <p>The <tt class="docutils literal">examples/</tt> directory of the <tt class="docutils literal">ispc</tt>
          distribution has approximately ten examples of using the language
          to accelerate various computations.  All of these have reference
          serial C++ implementations, which makes it easy to compare the
          differences between <tt class="docutils literal">ispc</tt> and C++ implementations of
          various algorithms.  (You can also browse this
          code <a href="https://github.com/ispc/ispc/tree/main/examples">directly
          on github</a>.)</p>

          <h2>Research Paper</h2>
          <p>A technical paper

              conference. This paper describes a number of the design
              features and key characteristics of the <tt class="docutils literal">ispc</tt>
              implementation.</p>
