SIMD getting started

SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data), in simple terms, refers to CPU instructions that allow computations to take place in parallel. While standard instructions typically execute one at a time (scalar), SIMD performs multiple calculations simultaneously. For example, you can process 8 data points in a single clock cycle, significantly optimizing both performance and power efficiency.

This post focuses on NEON (ARM's SIMD architecture) rather than Rust's standard SIMD library, simply because I prefer the control of specialization over generalization.

Hot reloading

Hot reloading is an effective way to keep development iterations fast. Furthermore, it could—and probably already does—help solve some production issues. Here, we will take a naive and simplified look at how it could be used for a live trader to reload a critical component without restarting the entire suite, but instead only a specific component.

Writing a Raydium sniper in Rust part 4

This is part four of this series, where we are creating a Solana sniper bot for Raydium from scratch in Rust. See the first post here which includes an introduction about why we use a compiled language instead of JavaScript, as well as prerequisites and a brief introduction about me. You can find the latest GitHub source here, which will be updated with each new post.

Solana needs to be wrapped for most meme coin swaps, but is there another reason for this command?

If sniping positions are important to you, Rust or any compiled language is essential for peeling off every possible millisecond. This stands in contrast to the more traditional sniping language, JavaScript, which is interpreted and therefore inherently slower than a compiled language.

This is a story about how I discovered sites like Dexscreener, stayed up all night trying to turn a profit on those impressive +10,000% gain tokens through manual trades, and eventually ended up coding my own sniper. Starting with Python and later transitioning to Rust, I was able to consistently rank among the top 10 snipes for any new AMM token on Raydium.
