I wanted an efficient no threads solution to a very common problem of matrix multiplication using multiprocessor CPUs. You gave me nonsense answers like vector operations (uses only one CPU at a time) and GPUs (memory transfer bottleneck, need to copy arrays, significantly less RAM compared to CPU RAM, and GPUs make it a completely different game). So no, I'm not moving goalposts.

You did not define what efficient means.

For example, a SIMD implementation will outperform a multithreaded implementation on a CPU without support for hardware threads.

My nonsense answer just happens to be what HPC is moving into, and when HPC wants to scale it uses MPI coupled GPUs, not plain old threads.
