The original maintainer is out of contact, and the new maintainers (the Portable SIMD Project Group) do not have the appropriate crates.io permissions to issue updates.
We are aware that the version available on crates.io is currently broken, and will not build.
If you need to continue to use the crate, we have published a "next version" under an alternative name.
Adjust your [dependencies] section of Cargo.toml to be the following:
packed_simd = { version = "0.3.8", package = "packed_simd_2" }Implementation of Rust RFC #2366: std::simd
WARNING: this crate only supports the most recent nightly Rust toolchain and will be superseded by stdsimd.

masterbranch) - Performance guide

std::simd: - contains motivation, design rationale, discussion, etc.
Most of the examples come with both a scalar and a vectorized implementation.

into_bits(default: disabled): enablesFromBits/IntoBitstrait implementations for the vector types. These allow reinterpreting the bits of a vector type as those of another vector type safely by just using the.into_bits()method.
The following ISPC examples are also part of packed_simd's
examples/
directory, where packed_simd+rayon are used to emulate ISPC's
Single-Program-Multiple-Data (SPMD) programming model. The performance results
on different hardware is shown in the readme.md of each example. The following
table summarizes the performance ranges, where + means speed-up and -
slowdown:
aobench:[-1.02x, +1.53x],stencil:[+1.06x, +1.72x],mandelbrot:[-1.74x, +1.2x],options_pricing:black_scholes:+1.0xbinomial_put:+1.4x
While SPMD is not the intended use case for packed_simd, it is possible to
combine the library with rayon to poorly emulate ISPC's SPMD programming
model in Rust. Writing performant code is not as straightforward as with
ISPC, but with some care (e.g. see the Performance Guide) one
can easily match and often out-perform ISPC's "default performance".
The following table describes the supported platforms: build shows whether
the library compiles without issues for a given target, while run shows
whether the test suite passes for a given target.

The
verify/
crate tests disassembles the portable packed vector APIs at run-time and
compares the generated machine code against the desired one to make sure that
this crate remains efficient.
