SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) is a term for when the processor executes the same instruction (like addition) on multiple numbers (data) in one instruction. Recent processor architectures are capable of running SIMD instructions on large batches of data, making it important that SIMD is for the best performance.
Julia makes it possible to manually write SIMD code. This workshop will give an overview of the different ways you can use SIMD in Julia.
