 Automatic vectorization

Automatic vectorization is a compiler optimization technique that transforms sequential code into vector code, allowing it to take advantage of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) architecture. This allows the execution of the same operation on multiple data points simultaneously, thus improving performance. ### Key Features of Automatic Vectorization: 1. **Performance Improvement**: By processing multiple data points at once, automatic vectorization can significantly reduce the number of instructions executed and the number of iterations needed, hence speeding up the overall execution of programs.
