Auto-Vectorization, Polyhedral Model

[Konrad Trifunovic]

Hi,

Auto-Vectorization is still implemented in the 'old'- non polyhedral way.
Polyhedral model can only help drive the vectorization strategies.
What is happening is that Graphite (polyhedral model framework inside GCC)
is setting the flag on the loop that it thinks should be vectorized.
Later, the vectorizer pass is performing the vectorization - by rewritting
scalar instructions into vector instructions.

Please have a look at the paper "Polyhedral-Model Guided Loop-Nest
Auto-Vectorization".
