SIMD

SIMD, or Single Instruction, Multiple Data, is a computer processing technique where one instruction operates simultaneously on multiple data points. Imagine having a batch of similar tasks—like adding a list of numbers—and completing them all at once instead of one by one. This approach speeds up computations, especially in graphics, scientific calculations, and data processing, by leveraging hardware that can handle many data streams simultaneously. Essentially, SIMD allows a computer to work more efficiently by performing the same operation across many pieces of data concurrently.
