This thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/4vqpxx/inside_the_fastest_font_renderer_in_the_world/d60so4g https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/4vqpxx/inside_the_fas...) on the Rust subreddit includes a comment from the author regarding using the SIMD functionality in nightly Rust: "Oooh, it's made a lot of progress recently! Funny thing, I actually started experimenting with this stuff pre-Rust 1.0. Last I looked at the SIMD crate, it was missing a whole bunch of stuff, and my style is to use fairly exotic SIMD instructions when they can help (for example, _mm_shuffle_epi8 is available in tmmintrin.h but not pmmintrin.h. This is a technology demo, so using a not-yet stabilized feature seems in scope. Perhaps I'll try the SIMD crate for writing the ARM version."
