> Using compiler intrinsics for SIMD and bit manipulation instructions (AVX,
> AVX2 and BMI2), we can speed up bit unpacking by a factor of about 2 to 8
> depending on bit width, at most 16.
> We need to take care to check that the required instructions are supported by
> the CPU the impalad is running on and fall back to the scalar implementation
> if not.
