+Implementations of SIMD instruction sets for systems which don't
+natively support them.
+
+The SIMDe header-only library provides fast, portable implementations of
+SIMD intrinsics on hardware which doesn't natively support them, such as
+calling SSE functions on ARM. There is no performance penalty if the
+hardware supports the native implementation (e.g., SSE/AVX runs at full
+speed on x86, NEON on ARM, etc.).
