# Contact Info

# TC39 acceptance

SIMD.js is a proposal in ES7

John Mccutchan’s Strawman proposal (polyfill is spec):

# Interest from other vendors

Mozilla has implemented this in Firefox:

Microsoft has announced plans to implement SIMD.js in Chakra, their Javascript engine.

SIMD.js discussion starts at minute 45:35 and demoed with Mandelbrot at time 49:00.

# Technical considerations

Implementing SIMD should have a small impact on code complexity in V8. There are lots of

SIMD types and operations but they are very regular.

# Implementation/testing

Design Document to come.

Yes, we have been working on an experimental implementation for a few
months. But it's a large and intrusive feature, so will take time.
