Effective vectorization comes from a combination of efficient data movement and recognition of vectorization opportunities in the program itself. Many things get in the way of vectorization: poor data layout, C/C language limitations, required compiler conservatism, and poor program structure. We will start with the three approaches to vectorization that should be of most interest, look at a six-step method that may help you, and finally,

What is meant by vectorization? Vectorization is the process of converting an algorithm from operating on a single value at a time to operating on a set of values (vector) at one time. Modern CPUs provide direct support for vector operations where a single instruction is applied to multiple data (SIMD).Vectorization is the process of converting an algorithm from operating on a single value at a time to operating on a set of values (vector) at one time.
