#BuildPropulsionLab at #DevoxxUK: @jbaruch with @speakjava
summary
Vector API is an incubating feature first added in JDK 15 (seven iterations so far, eighth in JDK 23) that exposes hardware SIMD registers so Java code can load many array elements and apply the same operation in one cycle, letting developers hand-vectorize cases the JIT cannot (conditional or masked loops). It picks the largest hardware vector register at runtime for portability, pairs with Project Panama/Foreign Memory Access, and aims for general availability in about three more JDK releases.
