Highway is a C++ library that helps make software run faster and use less energy. It does this by using SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) instructions, which let the CPU perform the same operation on many pieces of data at once. This can make programs up to 10 times faster and reduce energy use by up to five times. Highway works on many different types of computers and is easy to use, making it a good choice for developers who want to improve their software's performance.
