-- **Optimized for**: x86-64 architecture with SSE2 support
-- **SIMD Instructions**: Uses SSE2 intrinsics (`__m128d`, `__m128i`) for vectorized operations
-- **Fallback**: Includes scalar fallback implementation for non-x86 platforms
+- **Optimized for**: x86-64 with SSE2 support and ARM64 with NEON support
