This defines the full set of 32 128-bit vector registers on s390x. (Note that the VRs overlap the existing FPRs.) In addition, this adds support to use all 32 vector registers to implement floating- point operations, by using vector floating-point instructions with the 'W' bit set to operate only on the first element. This part of the vector instruction set mostly matches the old FP instruction set, with two exceptions: - There is no vector version of the COPY SIGN instruction. Instead, now use a VECTOR SELECT with an appropriate bit mask to implement the fcopysign operation. - There are no vector version of the float <-> int conversion instructions where source and target differ in bit size. Use appropriate multiple conversion steps instead. This also requires use of explicit checking to implement correct overflow handling. As a side effect, this version now also implements the i8 / i16 variants of all conversions, which had been missing so far. For all operations except those two above, we continue to use the old FP instruction if applicable (i.e. if all operands happen to have been allocated to the original FP register set), and use the vector instruction otherwise.

A standalone runtime for WebAssembly
A Bytecode Alliance project

Installation
The Wasmtime CLI can be installed on Linux and macOS with a small install script:
curl https://wasmtime.dev/install.sh -sSf | bash
Windows or otherwise interested users can download installers and binaries directly from the GitHub Releases page.
Example
If you've got the Rust compiler installed then you can take some Rust source code:
fn main() {
println!("Hello, world!");
}
and compile/run it with:
$ rustup target add wasm32-wasi
$ rustc hello.rs --target wasm32-wasi
$ wasmtime hello.wasm
Hello, world!
Features
-
Fast. Wasmtime is built on the optimizing Cranelift code generator to quickly generate high-quality machine code either at runtime or ahead-of-time. Wasmtime's runtime is also optimized for cases such as efficient instantiation, low-overhead transitions between the embedder and wasm, and scalability of concurrent instances.
-
Secure. Wasmtime's development is strongly focused on the correctness of its implementation with 24/7 fuzzing donated by Google's OSS Fuzz, leveraging Rust's API and runtime safety guarantees, careful design of features and APIs through an RFC process, a security policy in place for when things go wrong, and a release policy for patching older versions as well. We follow best practices for defense-in-depth and known protections and mitigations for issues like Spectre. Finally, we're working to push the state-of-the-art by collaborating with academic researchers to formally verify critical parts of Wasmtime and Cranelift.
-
Configurable. Wastime supports a rich set of APIs and build time configuration to provide many options such as further means of restricting WebAssembly beyond its basic guarantees such as its CPU and Memory consumption. Wasmtime also runs in tiny environments all the way up to massive servers with many concurrent instances.
-
WASI. Wasmtime supports a rich set of APIs for interacting with the host environment through the WASI standard.
-
Standards Compliant. Wasmtime passes the official WebAssembly test suite, implements the official C API of wasm, and implements future proposals to WebAssembly as well. Wasmtime developers are intimately engaged with the WebAssembly standards process all along the way too.
