Hello,

thanks

Hi!

Cheerp currently does not support SIMD, although we plan to implement it in the future.

In particular about avx/avx2: they are x86-specific, so some sort of compatibility layer on top of native Wasm SIMD instructions would be needed, even after we implement the latter.

We will update this issue when there will be progress on this feature.
