Autovectorized HIRLAM - latest results.

[Toon Moene <toon at moene dot indiv dot nluug dot nl>]

In August, I wrote the following about vectorized / not vectorized loops 
in HIRLAM
(see http://hirlam.org):

> $ grep 'LOOP VECTORIZED' HL_Prepare_00.html  | wc -l
> 3273
> $ grep 'not vectorized' HL_Prepare_00.html  | wc -l
> 7845

Yesterday, I performed a test with gcc-trunk-129472 (which is a week 
old, by now):

$ grep 'LOOP VECTORIZED' HL_Prepare_00.html | wc -l
5316
$ grep 'not vectorized' HL_Prepare_00.html | wc -l
6060

This was simply using -O3 -ffast-math on the code.  Apparently a lot of 
progress has been made (and perhaps the combination of loop 
optimizations enabled by -O3 over -O2 play a role, too):

$ gcc -c -Q -O3 --help=optimizers > /tmp/O3-opts
$ gcc -c -Q -O2 --help=optimizers > /tmp/O2-opts
$ diff /tmp/O2-opts /tmp/O3-opts | grep enabled
>   -fgcse-after-reload                         [enabled]

>   -fpredictive-commoning                      [enabled]

>   -funswitch-loops                            [enabled]

The timing difference is as follows:
