We plan to enable the Loop Vectorizer by default as part of the LLVM 3.3 release.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|

|

The loop vectorizer uses a cost model to decide on the optimal vectorization factor
|
||||
and unroll factor. However, users of the vectorizer can force the vectorizer to use
|
||||
specific values. Both 'clang' and 'opt' support the flags below.
|
||||
|
||||
Users can control the vectorization SIMD width using the command line flag "-force-vector-width".
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
$ clang -mllvm -force-vector-width=8 ...
|
||||
$ opt -loop-vectorize -force-vector-width=8 ...
|
||||
|
||||
Users can control the unroll factor using the command line flag "-force-vector-unroll"
|

.. code-block:: console

|

|

The Loop Vectorizer uses a cost model to decide when it is profitable to unroll loops.
|
||||
The decision to unroll the loop depends on the register pressure and the generated code size.
