In this post I will look into how someone can implement Sin/Cosin functions with SIMD in NET 5. NET 5 does not have a wrapper on SIMD trigonometric functions, so it seems a good exercise to implement it.
Using SIMD, one may gain performance advantage on large data sets. Later in this post I will run a performance benchmark to compare the SIMD implementation with Math.Cos() and MathF.Cos() methods.
In a previous post I have looked into what are the performance characteristics of creating interpolated string in .NET 5 and early previews of .NET 6. With .NET 6 preview 7 or better a new approach is used by the C# compiler with support from the BCL to build interpolated strings.
Fortunately the new way provides a faster approach for the most convenient ways for assembling strings, however it makes my previous post completely obsolete.
For details about the new way

Re-running the benchmarks from the previous post, shows much better memory usage:
This post looks into different approaches and their performance characteristics for appendnng interpolated like strings. I use BenchmarkDotNet to benchmark the different solutions. In case of all benchmarks I have 3 string properties A, B and C each holding one of these values:
hello
world
how are you
The values of these variables are set in a Global setup step of BencharmarkDotNet. In all benchmarks the three string are concatenate with some punctuations.
In the series of these posts I will look into how we can implement an APM solution for .NET applications. Application Performance Management (APM) helps to monitor and diagnose application performance. There are numerous libraries and tools out there to solve this given problem. In this series of posts I will focus on implementing APM for .NET applications (.NET Framework 461 and above, .NET Core and NET5) with OpenTelemetry.
In the series of these posts I will look into the following topics. The current post looks into creating and recording spans.
W3C correlation Id specification
Creating and recording spans with ActivitySource
Using OpenTelemetry and Jaeger
