dear julia experts: my question is not important, but I am curious: there seem to be a bewildering array of float vector processor instructions from intel and amd. the latest seem to be FMA3 and FMA4, if I am not mistaken. does julia use these CPU hardware features and/or its preceding ops? if so, I also wonder how much difference it makes. a while ago, I was wondering whether something like the amd kaveri's with their unified memory would give us the power of the graphics processor on the CPU without the hassle of GPU programming. there is a whole toolchain to worry about, too, and I am too busy/lazy to see if I can get it to work. I would only be helped by this if it were transparent. so, mine is merely a curiosity question...does julia? will julia?
