Write SIMD code on Arm using Rust

About this Learning Path

Who is this for?

This is an advanced topic for software developers who want to take advantage of SIMD code on Arm systems using Rust.

What will you learn?

Upon completion of this Learning Path, you will be able to:

• Write SIMD code with Rust using std::arch and Neon intrinsics on Arm
• Use portable SIMD abstractions with std::simd for cross-platform code
• Apply feature detection and target attributes for architecture-specific optimizations
• Compare C and Rust SIMD implementations and disassembly output

Prerequisites

Before starting, you will need the following:

• An Arm-based computer with recent versions of a C compiler (Clang or GCC) and a Rust compiler installed
