Each result is the mean of 8 individual runs, and the input ranges used match those from the original Java implementation. Overall, the intrinsic provides an an average uplift of 64% when input values fall into the middle three ranges where heavy computation is required. However, very small inputs and very large inputs show drops of 74% and 66% respectively.

Are there plans for a cosh intrinsic as follow-up work? There was a previous effort to intrinsify tanh.
