Benchmarking SIMD

Comparison of how fast Numba's autovectorization can achieve with respect to Intel C vector intrinsics. Read my blog post for more details on my experience working with Numba! https://laurenar.net/posts/python-simd/

Array Sum

Array Sum with Filter

Evaluation

Benchmarked 2 different programs to examine how logical complexity impacts performance.

1. Sum of all elements in an array
2. Sum of elements in array if element >= 100

Each program runs over a length 65546 integer array. Times are averaged over 1000s of iterations.
