Are you referring to VECTOR LOAD MULTIPLE and VECTOR STORE MULTIPLE? I don't 
know of any other vector instructions that have more than two source quadwords 
and one destination quadword.

Subject: Re: Does the z architecture have something like the SIMD instructions

<snip>
IBM has "Vector" instructions, but the size of a vector is limited to one
quadword.
</snip>

That limitation is not the case for z/Architecture vector operations.

To the question of the subject, simply, yes. There are SIMD instructions.
Whether they are "the" SIMD instructions I don't know.
