SIMD Instructions vs Distributed Computing
Developers should learn SIMD instructions when optimizing performance-critical code that involves large-scale numerical computations, such as image/video processing, audio signal analysis, physics simulations, or deep learning inference meets developers should learn distributed computing to build scalable and resilient applications that handle high loads, such as web services, real-time data processing, or scientific simulations. Here's our take.
