+#### SIMD implementation

+SIMD implementation automatically enables when `USE_OPTIMISED_IMPLEMENTATION` is defined and Intel (at least) SSE2 instruction set is supported by processor.
+
+SIMD implementation utilises SSE instruction set, a set of extended processor instructions which enable one to operate over 128-bit XMM registers. Combined with vector-by-matrix multiplication, SSE instructions help to achieve incredible performance.
