Vectorization paper / kernels.

Hi Uli,

While looking into something else I ran into these - I wonder how many of these GCC manages to vectorize ...

http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/livermorec . These look interesting from a vectorizer kernels point of view.

The other interesting paper of note was this PACT paper on vectorization benchmarks comparing icc , xlc and GCC which might provide some interesting hints / reading. http://polaris.cs.uiuc.edu/~garzaran/doc/pact11.pdf . The appropriate benchmarks kernels are linked to below.
