What’s the story with this? I tried to follow the instructions here: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/SIMD https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/SIMD but I get
~ $ git clone -b simd http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git Cloning into 'ghc'... fatal: Remote branch simd not found in upstream origin

Last I heard, it was extremely experimental and somewhat broken. Carter was
working on some of the worst problems, but he's been kind of busy.

indeed, dont use it. the current design is only -fllvm, and the choice in
api is exactly the wrong one for those who actually want to use SIMD
correctly
If you want to use Simd today, write C code and ffi call it!
https://github.com/wellposed/vector-vectorized is an example effort I did
nearly 2 years ago
