Stride of an array
The stride of an array, in computer programming, refers to the number of locations in memory between successive array elements.
It is also often called the increment or stepsize , and is sometimes measured in units of an array's elements.
A unit stride array is more efficient than a nonunit stride array with respect to caches.
