Java Vector API builds a portable SIMD surface in OpenJDK Project Panama with an x86_64 backend that emits xmm/ymm/zmm code and keeps vectors in registers; generated code shows 256‑bit and 512‑bit zmm codepaths and up to 12–13× speedup on a sepia filter and 4–5× for matrix/dot kernels, using a backend with about 15 parameterized intrinsics to avoid explosion. API is candidate-stage, implements arithmetic/masks/shuffles, still needs alignment, bounds and codegen tuning before wide release.
