Comment (by carter):
I personally recommend writing your simd in C and using the FFI, but if
you wanna use the current simd operations, tread carefully!
Good SIMD code requires using custom use of the instructions available on
the cpu micro architectures you care about. The current GHC SIMD primops
does not expose those in a way that allows peak throughput SIMD.
