With SIMD the CPU may execute the same instructions on e.g. 4x differents datasets just as fast as on 1x dataset. Assuming the user has a SIMD-enabled objective function - are there optimization algos that can exploit that? E.g. in Optim, Roots, SciML…? The prime example would be the BiSection alg…

The tools don’t have an interface for it yet. But I was just chatting with @Elrod about doing this just last week. We’ll probably start doing some of this for all SciML problems once the GPU push is done this summer (there’s new algorithms in each area to be made for this). If you’re interested and …
