Vector API performance

[Bruno Rafael Sant Ana]

Hi everyone,

This is the first time I'm using a Java mailing list, so hopefully I'm
doing it correctly.

I've heard that the Vector API should increase the performance when the
computer has a SIMD architecture.

I wrote this code to test the Vector API and surprisingly it seems to be
slower than the traditional way:

https://github.com/brunosantanati/java-new-features/blob/main/src/main/java/me/bruno/santana/incubator/VectorApiDemo.java

I got 5969 ns (traditional way) VS 48475736 ns (Vector API code). Why is
that? Maybe my laptop has no SIMD capabilities?

In addition to that, I have one more question. When I'm using the
IntVector.fromArray method passing an array with length less than 16 I get
an IndexOutOfBoundsException. Why is that?

Thank you!
