Vector types are used when multiple primitive data are operated in parallel Vector types are used when multiple primitive data are operated in parallel
using a single instruction (SIMD). A vector type requires a size (number of using a single instruction (SIMD). A vector type requires a size (number of
elements) and an underlying primitive data type. Vectors must have a power elements) and an underlying primitive data type. Vector types are considered
of two length (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 ...). Vector types are considered
