Question CRIO SIMD

Hello all.

Im interested to know if the CRIO supports SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data)
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMD)
Or if anyone has the technical specifications that would be great as well.

The reason I ask is because I am currently working on a math library for a game engine and it uses the 128bit register on the CPU to hold multiple data that can be operated on with a single instruction thus increasing performance (e.g. scaling a vector (x,y,z)*2)

So i was thinking same technique could be used to increase code performance for FRC 2014.
