vectorized

Computed in parallel

Vectorized describes operations or code optimized to process multiple data elements simultaneously rather than one at a time.

In computing, vectorized operations leverage hardware capabilities to perform calculations on entire arrays at once: Vectorized code runs much faster than looping through elements individually.

The term appears frequently in data science and numerical programming, where vectorized functions replace explicit loops for efficiency.
