1. simd and RUSTFLAGS
simd（单指令流多数据流）支持与硬件紧密关联，在rust-lang/rust/src/librustc_target中对不同的硬件平台和操作系统进行了相应的支持。
为了让rust编译器根据不同的平台使用特定的指令集，可通过环境变量RUSTFLAGS来让编译器生成相应平台的相应指令集代码。
通过设置RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=xxx"或RUSTFLAGS="-C target-features=+xxx"来分别指定CPU和指令集。

不同的CPU平台支持不同的指令集，可参见CPU指令集，Rust对指令集的选择通过-C target-features=+avx2来enable avx2指令集。注意，尽管所有支持AVX2的CPU都支持FMA，但是如果想同时使用AVX2和FMA，需明确enable，如-C target-features=+avx2,+fma。若想启用的指令集间有依赖关系，也需启用所有依赖的指令集。
