Thank you, Paul.

> For some context i used an early prototype of Vladimir’s excellent work to experiment with SIMD array mismatch and that fed nicely into the JavaOne Unsafe presentation.
Your use cases were very valuable and motivated most of the vector part 
of the prototype.

BTW I'd like to note the presentation gives excellent perspective on 
vector programming in Java (from low-level bits to Arrays 2.0 & Vector 
API [1]).

That would be great! Send them my way and I will incorporate them into 
the samples.

Best regards,
