_mm256_abs_epi16
ADD TO COMPARE ADDED TO COMPARE

 Intel 64-bit (64 bits)/ AVX2  View official documentation
 Location: Arithmetic  >  Vector Absolute Value
 CPU Extensions: AVX2
Purpose:
Compute the absolute value of packed signed 16-bit integers in a, and store the unsigned results in output.
Result:

A 256-bit vector of 16 x 16-bit signed integers that hold the absolute values of the input elements.

Example:
#include <immintrin.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
 int16_t a_data[16] = {
  -10, 20, -30, 40, -50, 60, -70, 80, -90, 100, -110, 120, -130, 140, -150, 160
 };
 __m256i a = _mm256_setr_epi16(        a_data[0], a_data[1], a_data[2], a_data[3],        a_data[4], a_data[5], a_data[6], a_data[7],        a_data[8], a_data[9], a_data[10], a_data[11],        a_data[12], a_data[13], a_data[14], a_data[15]    );
 __m256i result = _mm256_abs_epi16(a);
 int16_t result_data[16];
 _mm256_storeu_si256((__m256i*)result_data, result);
 for (int i = 0; i < 16; ++i) {
   printf("%d ", result_data[i]);
  }
  printf("\n");

  return 0;
 }
