Comment from Neville Dipale(nevi_me) @ 2019-12-23T04:13:36.550+0000: <pre>If everyone's happy with the performance of arithmetic and compute kernels after the improvements to the non-SIMD functions (ARROW-7460), I'd like to propose removing packed_simd [~paddyhoran]</pre> Comment from Paddy Horan(paddyhoran) @ 2019-12-24T13:47:15.418+0000: <pre>I would love to get back on stable. I added a feature to disable explicit SIMD to try and make progress toward this goal. Although the main thing we need is specialization on stable. If we can get the same level of performance then I'm all for removing packed_simd. At the time we adopted it, the author was trying to get it adopted into std. Since then he has stopped driving this forward until other features land. I'll take a look in the next few days to compare performance, etc. </pre> Comment from Kyle Strand(batmanaod) @ 2020-09-30T22:58:09.616+0000: <pre>There is now a portable-SIMD Rust language working group: https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2020/09/29/Portable-SIMD-PG.html Their goal is to make "a portable SIMD API available to stable Rust users." We should follow their progress and adopt their recommendations.</pre> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
