I can wait no problem.

I'm very interested in the SIMD part. What functions of the math
toolkit would be targeted? Also, will this project create facilities
that I can use SIMD hardware with my own calculations? For example, I
would very much like to do ray/box intersection tests by using SSE.
Would that be possible after the SOC?

This project might be of interest to you, in case you didn't know about it:
