  2. …a fascinating topic. I've begun assembling a set of synthetic benchmarks to compare DP4A vs. DPX (< https://github.com/ashvardanian/less_slow.cpp/pull/35 >), but it feels incomplete without SWAR. My working hypothesis is that 64-bit SWAR…

  3. Lately I've been going through [less_slow.cpp]( https://github.com/ashvardanian/less_slow.cpp ) and learning about different performance oriented c++ coding practices.

  5. …containers with shared stateful allocators in Rust. In C++, I've implemented them like this: < https://github.com/ashvardanian/less_slow.cpp/blob/8f32d65cc... >, even though I haven't seen many people doing that in public codebases. Any…

  9. …integrating scatter/gather in AVX-512 and SVE, and on synthetic benchmarks both look promising: https://github.com/ashvardanian/less_slow.cpp/releases/tag/v... Those should probably unlock a much wider set of applications for SIMD, but…
