I tried to google it, but i still couldn't understand well enough.

 

I may be wrong.

It's a way of doing math on a bunch of numbers at once. The 512 part comes from how many bits at once said instructions operate on. However, this does not mean it operates on 512-bit numbers, rather it operates on either 16 32-bit numbers or 8 64-bit numbers.

 

Basically AVX, and similar instructions like SSE, provide accelerated matrix math. This style of computing is called single instruction, many data (SIMD)

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted
