Hi @eme64 , I’ve rebased the patch onto the latest JDK, and all tier1 to tier3 tests have passed on my local AArch64 and x86 machines.

We should see that we have various benchmarks, both for array and MemorySegment.
You could look at the array benchmarks from here: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/22070

I also re-verified the benchmark from [PR #22070](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/22070) on 128-bit, 256-bit, and 512-bit vector machines. The results show no significant regressions and performance changes are consistent with the previous round described in [perf results]( https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8307084?focusedId=14729524&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-14729524).

I’d really appreciate it if you could run some internal testing at a time you think is suitable.
Thanks :)
