Elasticsearch simdvec deep-dive: Walking the memory tightrope to 2x better vector throughput

Elasticsearch simdvec deep-dive: Walking the memory tightrope to 2x better vector throughput

A deep dive into four optimizations (cascade unrolling, batch prefetching, dim-axis unrolling, a structural refactor) that pushed Elasticsearch simdvec to 2x vector throughput by working with the CPU, not against it.
