Description

An incomplete list (motivated by a reddit comment)

  • scatter/gather
  • [ ] nontemporal load/store (not really SIMD, but maybe. see nontemporal_store)
  • lookup tables (possibly related to #11)
  • masked load/stores
  • reductions/horizontal fns, such as horizontal add

Research direction

Start by reviewing the unchecked checklist items, especially lookup tables and masked loads/stores, and the related issue #11. Confirm which SIMD function is in scope and where the project’s existing implementations and tests live. Done should mean an agreed item is implemented with appropriate coverage.
