Vectorization Workflow

New users: Please read the sections About Workflows and About Key Concepts to get started using Intel Advisor to add vectorization or threading parallelism into your program.

The following figure shows an overview of the vectorization Intel Advisor workflow.

The Vectorization Workflow guides you through adding SIMD Parallelism into your application via the following steps:

  1. Survey the target application.

  2. Collect Trip Counts.

  3. Mark loops for deeper analysis

    or Annotate Code for Deeper Analysis.

  4. Examine Potential Dependencies.

  5. Consider Memory Access Patterns (MAP).

Each workflow step is optional, which means you can skip any step of the workflow and move to the step you are interested in most of all. Still, you need the Survey Analysis data to collect the Trip Counts, as the Trip Counts tool maps the collected data to the Survey Report. To run the Dependencies and the MAP analysis without surveying the application, you need to add source annotations.
