+            While it allows comments in the SIMD intrinsics, SIMD.info is not really a forum. It is an online **free** resource to assist developers porting C code between popular architectures, for example, from SSE/AVX/AVX512 to Arm ASIMD.

+            SIMD.info provides multiple features, including a hierarchical tree, Search facility, Intrinsics Comparison, Code examples, Equivalents mapping, links to official documentation and others. AI code translation is not a feature of SIMD.info but will be the focus of another project, SIMD.ai.

+### Conclusion and Additional Resources
+
+Porting SIMD code between architecture can be a daunting process, in many cases requiring many hours of studying multiple ISAs in online resources or ISA manuals of thousands pages.
+
+Using **[SIMD.info](https://simd.info)** can be be instrumental in reducing the amount of time spent in this process, providing a centralized and user-friendly resource for finding **NEON** equivalents to intrinsics of other architectures. It saves considerable time and effort by offering detailed descriptions, prototypes, and comparisons directly, eliminating the need for extensive web searches and manual lookups.
+
+While porting between vectors of different sizes is more complex, work is underway -at the time of writing this guide- to complete integration of **SVE**/**SVE2** Arm extensions and allow matching them with **AVX512** intrinsics, as they are both using predicate masks.
+
+Please check **[SIMD.info](https://simd.info)** regularly for updates on this.
