+### [Termite SIMD]: Melt Your CPU
+
+Thermite is a WIP SIMD library focused on providing portable SIMD (Single
+Instruction, Multiple Data) acceleration of SoA (Structure of Arrays)
+algorithms, using consistent-length SIMD vectors for lockstep iteration and
+computation. Extensive research and work has gone into minimizing wasted CPU
+cycles and making the most out of what your CPU can do.
+
+The goal of Thermite is to provide highly optimized feature-rich backends for
+SSE2, SSE4.2, AVX and AVX2, with planned support for AVX512, ARM/Aarch64 NEON,
+and WASM SIMD extensions. In addition to that, Thermite will include a highly
+optimized vectorized math library with many special math functions and
+algorithms, specialized for both single and double precision.
+
+Thermite has been worked on for a little over a month now. The AVX2 backend and
+vectorized math library almost fully implemented. Pre-AVX2/WASM/ARM backends are
+a work in progress. The latest documentation is available
+[here][thermite-documentation].
