Java Vector API

In this session, we will discuss the Vector API, now in incubator, in Java. We will start by discussing SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) and how we can use it to maximize the speed of our computations. We will then discuss setting up the Vector API, establishing a species, and defining and using components and lanes. We will understand and use masking and various operators using masking. Then, we will discuss same-lane and cross-lane computation.

In our session, we will cover the details of the Vector API and also dive into the code and the debugger to see what's going on underneath.

• SIMD
• Vectors
• Lanes and Components
• Lane Wise Operators: Adding, Multiplying, Broadcasting, Blending
• Cross Lane Operators: Shuffling, Reducing, Comparing
• Creating a Machine Learning Model on the Vector API
