Oracle and Intel are developing a Java API to add first-class vector, or SIMD (single instruction, multiple data), support to the platform, which could yield big performance gains. Part of Project ...

Abstract: The Java Vector API efficiently optimizes dataparallel operations using SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data), making it particularly useful for applications that rely on vector-based ...

The JDK algorithm is very optimized, and uses intrinsics to check negatives (for the ASCII shortcut) and to elide array bound checks. In the vectorized algorithm, 256 bit vectors currently perform ...

Is low-level programming a sin or a virtue? It depends. When programming for using vector processing on a modern processor, ideally I’d write some code in my favorite language and it would run as fast ...
