SIMD-0256

Definition

SIMD-0256 refers to a specific instruction set architecture extension designed for parallel processing. SIMD, or Single Instruction, Multiple Data, allows a processor to perform the same operation on multiple data points simultaneously. The ‘0256’ likely denotes the width of the data registers or the number of bits processed in parallel. Such architectures are vital for accelerating computationally intensive tasks, including certain aspects of cryptographic operations or transaction processing.
