 ## 2024-11-20 - Softmax math.exp 8x unrolling with local var cache
 Learning: Unrolling the `Math.exp` accumulation loop to 8x and caching the multiplication `(tokenLogits[i] - maxLogit) * invTemp` into local variables before passing to `Math.exp` yields a measurable performance improvement (~4%) over the previous 4x unrolled implementation in the V8 engine, by reducing property access and allowing better instruction-level parallelism.
 Action: Utilize 8x loop unrolling paired with local variable caching for tight floating-point accumulation loops over TypedArrays.

+## 2024-11-20 - Loop interchange for FFT twiddles
+Learning: In the inner calculation loops of an FFT algorithm over typed arrays, interchanging the loops to hoist twiddle array accesses (`tw.cos`, `tw.sin`) out of the innermost mathematical operations combined with caching TypedArray lookups (`re[q]`, `im[q]`) into local variables yields a measurable performance improvement (~3%) in V8 without manual loop unrolling.
+Action: Apply loop interchange to hoist memory lookups out of tight mathematical processing kernels.
