There are a huge number of x86 SIMD instructions.
Most are implemented in gem5 (though they haven't been tested).
However, they are generally microcoded and only work functionally.

It would be a great project to implement these instructions using the new vector register implementation in the CPU models.
E.g., https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/13519

Added a resource constraint, AtomicALUOperation, to GLC atomics
performed in the TCC.

The resource constraint uses a new class, ALUFreeList array. The class
assumes the following:
  - There are a fixed number of atomic ALU pipelines
- While a new cache line can be processed in each pipeline each cycle,
if a cache line is currently going through a pipeline, it can't be
processed again until it's finished

Two configuration parameters have been used to tune this behavior:
- tcc-num-atomic-alus corresponds to the number of atomic ALU pipelines
- atomic-alu-latency corresponds to the latency of atomic ALU pipelines
