## Agenda

- Hello again! Same time?
- Any further decisions re: wrapping / branching?
- Caleb: not "can it be branchless" but "does it make sense to branch?"
- Shuffles?
- Masks?
- Non-2^N vectors?!

## Summary

### Immediate Goals
- audit our API for necessities
- initially launching to the `core_simd_arithmetic` feature flag

### Later Goals
- internal work on rustc to add SIMD support
- maybe "static shuffles" (interleave, etc.)?
- find out what users want
- simd trig
