I've read a SHARE presentation that they are planning use the SIMD
instructions to move data. memcpy() on steroids! Java JVMs and compiler
optimizers can take advantage of these new instructions in interesting ways.

The IBM z13 hardware provides a new SIMD unit. This article describes how
to use the IBM z/OS XL C/C++ language to take advantage of the new
processor and exploit the enhanced parallelism it offers. This article also
provides an overview of the new data types, the operations that can be done
on those data types, and the built-in functions to make vector programming
easier.
