SIMD vs Systolic Array
Developers should learn SIMD to optimize performance-critical applications where operations can be parallelized across large datasets, such as image/video processing, audio signal analysis, physics simulations, and neural network inference meets developers should learn about systolic arrays when working on performance-critical applications involving dense linear algebra, neural network inference, or digital signal processing, as they offer significant speedups by exploiting data locality and parallelism. Here's our take.
