How to write optimized code for an instruction set not supported by my computer?

Hello. What is the usual workflow to write code that takes advantage of an instruction set that is not present in my computer (either in assembly or using intrinsic functions that represent those instructions in an higher level language)?. For example, if I want to write code for decoding and
