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 ...

Intel AVX-512 is the latest in a long history of x86 vector instruction sets. Vector instructions, commonly known as SIMD instructions, are special because they do more than one operation at a time.

Intel Compiler provides SIMD intrinsics APIs for short vector math library (SVML) and starting with AVX512 generation it also exposes masked versions of SVML functions to the users. e.g. see zmmintrin ...

Recent Intel® enhancements to Java enable faster and better numerical computing. In particular, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) now uses the Fused Multiply Add (FMA) instructions on Intel Intel Xeon® ...
