<ul><li>Division on microcontrollers can be challenging, but floating point division can offer a solution.</li><li>By casting 8-bit numbers to 32-bit integers and then to floating point numbers, bulk division can be performed using SIMD instructions.</li><li>Benchmarking different variations of the program showed that converting to floating point and using AVX2 resulted in speed improvements of 8X to 11X.</li><li>Optimizing programs for CPUs is becoming less intuitive as processors become more complex.</li></ul>
