These features have been designed to take full advantage of common micro-processor optimization techniques, such as:
-* Reducing cache and TLS misses by processing packets in vectors.
-* Realizing `IPC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_cycle>`_ gains with vector instructions such as: SSE, AVX and NEON.
-* Eliminating mode switching, context switches and blocking, to always be doing useful work.
-* Cache-lined aliged buffers for cache and memory efficiency.
