Based on the article, CUDA has a sinpi instruction (or whatever they call them in CUDA-land). Does anyone know -- is sinpi commonly provided in the CPU assembly extension ecosystem (avx & friends)? Light googling showed me some APIs that had implementations, but I didn't dig in enough to see if they are directly implemented in assembly (this seems like the sort of info a wizard here would know about, and probably whether these types of instructions tend to be well-implemented...).
