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).
