SIMD-accelerated iterators

Unmatched flexibility 🤯

let needles = [42, 52, 94];
arr.iter().any_simd(|x| needles.contains(x) || x > 156);

• Works by letting LLVM do the vectorization (may change in the future).
• Functions are made easy to paste into Godbolt for inspection.

Currently the following are implemented:

find filter position all any argmin/argmax

Tradeoffs

Every piece of software makes tradeoffs. The goal of this library it to provide the majority of performance gains gained from going scalar -> vectorized, while staying user-friendly. If you are looking to shave off the last few cycles this might not be what you are looking for.

⚠️ Warning ⚠️:

The library makes one extra assumption over the stdlib: The closure may be executed any number of times:

arr.iter().simd_position(|x| {
    println!("hello world");
    *x == 42
})

May print a different number of times compared to the standard library. This shouldn't be an issue under normal use-cases but something to keep in mind.

Why is this not part of the standard library

It's tricky. Hopefully one day.
