The concept of vectorizing code

I was wondering: is there information available somewhere (a tutorial or simple rationale outline) which describes how vectorizing code works?
I understand that it is basically about structuring your code in such a way that the CPU can process multiple instructions simultaneously and I have seen some examples in the archives but I'd really like to learn how it works and how to apply it properly.
Thanks

Following up my own post: I just found a very nice article

about the working of MMX, which incidentally answers my own
question (and some other latent questions I had ;-).
