Experiment with SIMD for speeding up algorithms

[frewsxcv]

There's some interesting papers published in the past few years incorporating SIMD into geospatial algorithms:

• https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.09488
• https://arxiv.org/abs/1403.0802
• https://gisandscience.com/2009/12/18/strategies-for-real-time-spatial-analysis-using-massively-parallel-simd-computers-an-application-to-urban-traffic-flow-analysis/

And the SIMD story is getting better with Rust. There's also cool projects like:

Yes! I've been wanting to experiment with SIMD point-in-polygon, dot product, and cross-product, but haven't had time to get to grips with it, and have also been waiting for SIMD to stabilise (and hopefully for Faster to adopt the std implementation)
