Parallel access to strided vectors has been an issue since the introduction of vector supercomputers. Over a period of about 20 years, I contributed on this topic for SIMD architectures (old fashioned SIMD architectures were not only considering contiguous vectors in memory), multi vector processors and finally parallel access to vectors in caches.
