But you still only have one instruction decoding block and it is hard to get it to go fast, so the arithmetic hardware is vastly underutilized. To get around the instruction decoding bottleneck, you can feed the CPU a batch of numbers all at once for a single arithmetic operation like addition. Hence the name: “single instruction, multiple data,” or SIMD fo..."
