@jbachorik (reduce branches)

[jbachorik]

An improvement over my initial submission. Still pure Java ByteBuffer implementation, no Unsafe nor Vector API nor FFI. I think the performance is competitive compared to the solutions using eg. Vector API but I will leave at your discretion to accept/run benchmarks.

And, again, thanks for many hours of fun :)

Check List:

• [x] Tests pass (./test.sh <username> shows no differences between expected and actual outputs)
• [x] All formatting changes by the build are committed
• [x] Your launch script is named calculate_average_<username>.sh (make sure to match casing of your GH user name) and is executable
• [x] Output matches that of calculate_average_baseline.sh

• Execution time: 00:05.883
• Execution time of reference implementation: 02:36.457

Happy to re-run it, that's what the challenge is for :) Could you just rebase it to current main and squash everything into a single commit? Thx!

Will do!

@gunnarmorling Ok. All done!
