simd VS extism

I'd love to see OpenCL or WasmSIMD support for RVV 071.

Wasm SIMD supports only 128-bit registers, no? https://github.com/WebAssembly/simd/blob/a78b98a6899c9e91a13095e560767af6e99d98fd/proposals/simd/SIMD.md

According to the WebAssembly Roadmap, the 128-bit packed SIMD Extension proposal has been accepted and is already implemented in every major runtime except Safari, and the Relaxed SIMD proposal is planned, with Firefox already having an experimental implementation in nightly-channel builds.

Thanks! You're probably right about spatial filtering with a low sphere count. SIMD is supported, that looks to work in every recent browser except Safari. Looking forward to trying that out. A really quick search of wasm-bindgen docs don't reveal an interface to use that SIMD support though. I wonder if you can unsafely inline some raw wasm like you can with asm!

Extism can be really useful for packaging up and running cross-language libraries!

The most clear information about it is at: https://extism.org, but its a bit focused on the primary use case for Extism, being a universal plugin system.

There is a C PDK (https://github.com/extism/c-pdk) which you'd probably want to use in a new wrapper around your library in C++, and compile it to wasm32 freestanding or WASI, but without emscripten. Extism doesn't currently have an interop layer to emscripten.

It may just be my own unique obsession to peek at the internals of .wasm, but if anyone else is curious:

u/nbittich - curious if you've tried to use your language as as a scripting language inside other apps? I took a peak at your browser wasm environment, and think we could hook up the `compute` entrypoint you have here[0], but I'm not certain what the `ctx` does without going super deep, and if it could be passed into an Extism function[1] (which is how I'd try to run it from within 16+ other languages).

Yep, this is one of the initial motivations for creating Extism: https://github.com/extism/extism -- and it works across 16 host languages & 8 guest languages.

On the devx, there's definitely some rough edges around building and using Wasm. My company has been working on a framework to ease integrating Wasm into existing applications. One area it focuses on is providing easy data passing between the host program and the Wasm and vice versa. https://github.com/extism/extism We do not have WASI preview 2 support yet, but are interested in integrating it.
