Data Access Patterns That Infuriate Your CPU
This article explores how different data access patterns can drastically affect CPU performance, using a simple addition operation as a case study. It demonstrates that non-sequential memory access can be orders of magnitude slower due to cache misses. The post provides concrete code examples and benchmarks to illustrate the impact of memory layout on execution speed.
