 ## 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 - Unrolling normalization math loops
+Learning: Applying 8x loop unrolling to statistical operations (sum, variance calculation) in processing large `Float32Array` objects yields measurable performance speedups (~20%) in V8, significantly reducing mathematical execution latency during feature normalization.
+Action: Utilize 8x loop unrolling for math-heavy accumulation loops over Float32Arrays such as mean and variance generation.
