# SIMDStorage

A type that can function as storage for a SIMD vector type.

```
protocol SIMDStorage
```

## Overview

The `SIMDStorage` protocol defines a storage layout and provides
elementwise accesses. Computational operations are defined on the `SIMD`
protocol, which refines this protocol, and on the concrete types that
conform to `SIMD`.
