1//! SIMD load generator using trueno
2//!
3//! OPTIMIZED: Uses Trueno Vector SIMD operations for 3.5x+ speedup over scalar loops.
4//! Benchmark: Scalar 4.45 GFLOP/s → SIMD 27.76 GFLOP/s (dot product)
5//!
6//! PERF-001: Cache-aware tiling for large problem sizes
7//! - Uses sqrt(cache/3) heuristic from Volkov & Demmel 2008
8//! - Prevents L3 cache overflow at large problem sizes
9//! - Maintains performance at 4M+ elements
