Looks like a great library - and pretty optimized. I've been looking
into their source code and it looks like they dynamically query CPU
capabilities and store them in a global struct without any protection
- I'd say this makes the library not thread-safe. Looks like a good
library to take inspiration from, especially regarding performance.

Thanks,
Ruben.
