2. The `LLVM <https://llvm.org>`__ backend targets Intel (``x86_64``) and ARM
(``aarch64``) CPUs. It parallelizes the program using the available CPU
cores and vector instruction set extensions such as AVX, AVX512, NEON, etc.
cores and vector instruction set extensions. On Intel (``x86_64``) for
example, this requires extensions such as AVX, AVX512, NEON, etc.
You can explicitly request this backend by importing types from
``drjit.llvm`` or ``drjit.llvm.ad`` (add ``.ad`` if derivative computation is needed).
