// it is not trivial to understand what may or may not contribute to performance
// changes. Eventually, you will need tools to inspect the generated assembly and confirm your

// We now move on to the SIMD implementations: notice the following constructs:

// `f32x4::from_array`: construct the SIMD vector from a slice
// `(a * b).reduce_sum()`: Multiply both f32x4 vectors together, and then reduce them.
// This approach essentially uses SIMD to produce a vector of length N/4 of all the products,
// and then add those with `sum()`. This is suboptimal.

// 1. Make a `zero` `f32x4` SIMD vector that we will be accumulating into

// 2. Exploit Fused Multiply Add so that the multiplication, addition and sinking into the reduciton
// happen in the same step.
// If the arrays are large, minimizing the data shuffling will lead to great perf.
// If the arrays are small, handling the remainder elements when the length isn't a multiple of 4
// Can become a problem.
