This is a second lab about using compiler intrinsics to speed up parts of the code, where compilers fail to generate optimal code.
The task of this lab assignment is to find the longest line in a file. There is a way to find end-of-line characters in a parallel way if you utilize compiler intrinsics.
Bonus exercise: whether solution that uses intrinsics is faster than the baseline is heavily affected by the input data. Run your solution on different input files to determine the speedup/slowdown.
The idea for this lab was proposed by Yuriy Lyfenko (@obender12).
