Each layer abstracts the one below. Knowing the stack helps you optimize.
What you're seeing
The whole chain from your prompt to a CPU instruction.
★ KEY TAKEAWAY
Full CPU SLM stack: application → engine → kernels → SIMD → CPU cores+RAM. Each layer abstracts the one below.
▶ WHAT TO TRY
- Read top to bottom to understand the abstraction chain.
- Knowing which layer your bottleneck is at = knowing what to optimize.
