Fast approach to finding minimum and maximum values in a large data set using SIMD instruction set architecture

摘要

Systems and methods may determine a boundary value data unit in a large data set in parallel with determining an associated index of the determined boundary value data unit into the large data set using a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) instruction set architecture and a specialized data layout of array entries. In one example, the specialized data layout of array entries combines a data value and its associated index to an array into a single array entry.
