 * Sample of the CVEX interface to call VEX.
 *
 * CVEX is most efficient when operating on arrays of data.  The interface
 * allows you to create a VEX function to perform some computation.  Instead of
 * hard-coding the algorithm in your C++ code, you can alter the algorithm by
 * running different VEX code.  It allows flexibility in design of your code.
