Yes, z/Architecture has a number of SIMD instructions that operate on
distinct data types. They are called vector instructions in mainframeze and
accordingly have mnemonics that all begin with V.

I admit being away from the mainframe for long time. Most of my work is on
Solaris and Linux servers and therefore I do not code in Assembler. However, I
was active in porting a C library into classic z/OS.I was looking to do another
port and stumbled upon the fact that that library has several SIMD architecture
specific extensions (Altivec, Neon are two examples). While I can ignore that
stuff, I became somewhat interested in the subject.
