Can all basic SIMD instructions be mapped to numpy array operations? If so, why doesn't numpy already use them? (Or does it?) And if not, then is there some existing C extension module for CPython that exposes them somehow? Of course CPython cannot hope for impressive speedups with such an extension module, but such a module in PyPy could be JITted and give massive speed benefits.
