Description

GPU isn't necessary (and is slower) for small matrices. We should provide an optimized javascript version to fallback on.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement SIMD optimized fallback for small matrices in JavaScript. Use MDN SIMD documentation and the simd npm package for reference. Focus on achieving performance improvements for small arrays where GPU overhead outweighs benefits.
