You may find some of the SHARE presentations useful. I used SIMD z os share as keywords.

From: IBM Mainframe Assembler List [[email protected]] on behalf of Ze'ev Atlas [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 5, 2020 12:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Does the z architecture have something like the SIMD instructions 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. Ze'ev Atlas
