SPO600 Project - Candidate Selection

#spo600 #stage1

Hi this is Tecca, this post is meant to be an update on progress of me finding a candidate package for the SPO600 project stage 1.

Stages of the project

Stage 1: Selection

Searching and selecting candidate packages to optimize, pick an approach to optimize the current code in the package. ## Stage 2: Implementation
Implementing the approach of optimizations mentioned in Stage 1, and testing the program to ensure that it uses the SVE2 instructions without crashing the program. ## Stage 3: Upstreaming
submitting changes into the upstream codebase

What I need

I need to be able to find a package that is open-source and use SIMD(Single Input, Multiple Data) implementation at the library-level, and making sure they don't already have SVE or SVE2 optimizations already implemented.
