I’ve been playing around with SIMD since uni lectures about 10 years ago. Back then I started with OpenMP, then moved to x86 intrinsics with AVX. Lately I’ve been exploring portable SIMD for a side project where I’m (re)writing a Numpy-like library in Rust, mostly sticking to the standard library. Portable SIMD has been super helpful so far.
I’m on an M-series MacBook now but still want to target x86 as well, and without portable SIMD that would’ve been a headache.
If anyone’s curious, the project is here: https://github.com/IgorSusmelj/rustynum. It's just a learning exercise for learning Rust, but I’m having a lot of fun with it.
