FROM SLOW TO SIMD: A GO OPTIMIZATION STORY

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

A function within Sourcegraph's Code AI tool, Cody, was recently optimized to significantly increase its throughput and reduce memory usage. The function calculates the dot product of two vectors. The optimization journey involved various techniques like loop unrolling, bounds-checking elimination, quantization, and SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) instructions.
