SIMD Instructions with Rust on Android - Optimizing Performance and Portability

Explore SIMD instructions with Rust on Android in this 48-minute conference talk by Guillaume Endignoux. Delve into the importance of SIMD for algorithm optimization and learn how Rust exposes them as intrinsics in the standard library. Address unique challenges such as portability, testability, usability, and compiler optimization. Discover approaches to solve these challenges through the lens of Rust on Android. Cover topics including building blocks of SIMD, calling SIMD from Rust, writing cross-platform algorithms, detecting supported SIMD instructions, and avoiding performance pitfalls in practice. Gain insights from Guillaume's expertise, with access to accompanying slides and additional resources on his blog and GitHub. Join the Rust Zürisee community for further discussions and potential speaking opportunities.
