Dan, you say that SIMD.js delivers performance portability, and Nadav says it
doesn’t.
Nadav’s argument seems to come down to (as I understand it):
- The set of vector operations supported on different CPU architectures varies
widely.
- "Executing vector intrinsics on processors that don’t sup
We will probably bring it up on es-discuss once we’ve had a chance to discuss
it among WebKit folks.

You are free to start such a discussion on es-discuss. I think it's useful for
the webkit community to be able to discuss what we think of the feature.

Hi Nadav,
I agree with much of your assessment of the the proposed SIMD.js API.
However, I don't believe it's unsuitability for some problems
invalidates it for solving other very important problems, which it is
well suited for. Performance portability is actually one of SIMD.js'
biggest strengths
