Following the guidelines below will help auto-vectorization of the loop.
- Statements within the loop body may contain float or double operations (typically on arrays). The following arithmetic operations are supported: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, negation, square root,
MAX,
MIN, and mathematical functions such as
SIN and
COS.
- Writing to a single-precision scalar/array and a double scalar/array within the same loop decreases the chance of auto-vectorization due to the differences in the vector length (that is, the number of elements in the vector register) between float and double types. If auto-vectorization fails, try to avoid using mixed data types.
