There aren't any primitives for this right now, no. I'd say it would be medium level of difficult to add support to the JIT for this, probably a day of work for someone who knew the codebase, a few days for someone learning it.

I've read a few older articles about SIMD support in PyPy, what is the status of this? If I wanted to add something like a Vector3 type to my language (like mono did here http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2008/Nov-03.html) and wanted to take advantage of SSE are there primitives for this?

Thanks,

Timothy
