I was ready to ask the same question given how large the series is :-) For ARM NEON instructions (the ARM SIMD), my experience is that ffmpeg can help test some instructions as it contains assembly routines that use instructions no compiler generates. And it looks like ffmpeg has many Altivec routines. Of course, it's not enough, but it's a good start. Laurent
