Modern CPUs provide drect support for vector operations where a single instruction is applied to multiple data (SIMD). For example, a CPU with a 512 bit register could hold 16 32- bit single precision doubles and do a single calculation.

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.
