Description

packed_simd hosts various examples in its repo, featuring classics like

  • Aobench
  • Dot Product
  • Fannkuch Redux
  • Mandelbrot
  • Matrix Inverse
  • N-Body
  • Options Pricing
  • Slice Sum
  • Spectral Norm
  • Stencil
  • Triangle Xform

We've already had users come up with code (in spite of not even being published to crates.io), so obviously we're doing something right in terms of making a decently intuitive API, but we should port some of these to the current API to provide more practical working examples, and also tacitly a bench suite, in this repo or another. That or we should figure out why we're not doing so.
