What is meant by vectorization?

Vectorization, in simple words, means optimizing the algorithm so that it can utilize SIMD instructions in the processors. AVX, AVX2 and AVX512 are the instruction sets (Intel) that perform same operation on multiple data in one instruction. For e.g. AVX512 means you can operate on 16 integer values (4 bytes) at a time

  1. What is meant by vectorization? Vectorization is the process of converting an algorithm from operating on a single value at a time to operating on a set of values (vector) at one time. Modern CPUs provide direct support for vector operations where a single instruction is applied to multiple data (SIMD). Vectorization, in simple words, means optimizing the algorithm so that it can utilize SIMD instructions in the processors.
