Java 18: Vector API
Vector API is a new feature introduced in Java 18 that provides a set of vectorized operations that can be used to accelerate mathematical computations. Vector API enables developers to write code that can take advantage of the latest hardware, including CPUs with vector units and GPUs. Vector API provides a set of classes and interfaces that can be used to write code that performs vectorized operations on arrays of numeric data. The API supports operations such as addition, multiplication, and division, as well as more complex operations such as dot products, norms, and reductions. The API also includes support for complex numbers and floating-point operations. Here's an example of how Vector API can be used to accelerate a simple mathematical operation: import jdk.incubator.vector.*; public class VectorExample { public static void main(String[] args) { float[] a = {1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f, 4.0f}; float[] b = {5.0f, 6.0f, 7.0f, 8.0f}; float[] result = new floa
