Description
Currently, stl/src/vector_algorithms.cpp provides optimized implementations for SSE4.2 and AVX2; for example:
AVX-512 might further increase performance. I'm marking this issue as https://github.com/microsoft/STL/labels/blocked until a maintainer (i.e. me) has AVX-512-capable hardware to verify benchmarks.

Research direction
Start in stl/src/vector_algorithms.cpp, especially the existing SSE4.2 and AVX2 implementations around lines 27-33. Compare their structure before assessing the AVX-512 implementation, then verify performance with benchmarks on AVX-512-capable hardware. Done means AVX-512 vector algorithms are implemented and their performance has been verified.
