Vectorization



Vectorization, in computer science, is the process of converting a computer program from a scalar implementation, which does an operation on a pair of operands at a time, to a vectorized program where a single instruction can perform multiple operations on a pair of vector (series of adjacent values) operands. Vector processing is a major feature of both conventional and modern supercomputers.
