@ -23,6 +23,6 @@ SIMD has a few special vocabulary terms you should know:
* **Bit Widths:** When talking about SIMD, the bit widths used are the bit size of the vectors involved, *not* the individual elements. So "128-bit SIMD" has 128-bit vectors, and that might be `f32x4`, `i32x4`, `i16x8`, or other variations. While 128-bit SIMD is the most common, there's also 64-bit, 256-bit, and even 512-bit on the newest CPUs.
* **Vertical:** When an operation is "vertical", each lane processes individually without regard to the other lane in the same vector. For example, a "vertical add" between two vectors would add lane 0 in `a` with lane 0 in `b`, with the total in lane 0 of `out`, and then the same thing for lanes 1, 2, etc. Most SIMD operations are vertical operations, so if your problem is a vertical problem then you can probably solve it with SIMD.

* **Horizontal:** When an operation is "horizontal", the lanes within a single vector interact in some way. A "horizontal add" might add up lane 0 of `a` with lane 1 of `a`, producing the output into lane 0 of `out`.
