## Agenda

- Hello again!
- Non-2^N vectors?!
- GPUs?! ABIs?!
- libm and std::simd split?

## Summary

- revert the restriction inside rustc, keep the restriction inside the lib (for now)
- can we consider GPU and SIMD types the same?
- Lokathor: No.
- LLVM: Yes? Maybe.
- splitting out SIMD floats should be as simple as a library feature?
- Jubilee has a draft branch for saturating ops
- termhn may be interested in contributing!
