Answer from AI

AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions) is a set of instructions for processors that extends the capabilities of SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data). It allows performing operations on vector data (such as floating-point data) in parallel, significantly speeding up computations in tasks related to multimedia processing, scientific calculations, and machine learning.

Example: instead of sequentially adding several numbers, AVX allows adding multiple pairs of numbers at once using 256-bit registers (in AVX2) or 512-bit registers (in AVX-512).

Using AVX directly in Go is challenging, but the compiler and libraries can optimize code with these instructions if the processor supports them.
