		`* the SB-SIMD contrib now supports ARM64. (Thanks to Sylvia Harrington) * AVX512 instructions are now supported on X86-64. (Thanks to Robert Smith and Arthur Miller) * additional support for SIMD instructions on ARM64 and X86-64. (Thanks to Arthur Miller)` These seem like pretty awesome additions. Does anyone know how SIMD works in SBCL? Is this at the codegen layer? i.e. can it auto-vectorize or anything like that? Or are these intrinsics you have to explicitly ask for?

		No auto-vectorization yet, but you may find this illuminating: https://www.stylewarning.com/posts/nbody

		Looks like you use it explicitly? https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/tree/master/contrib/sb-simd
