Perhaps there's interest in her talk at the GCC Summit.

Here's the underlying paper - sorry, the URL is quite long because it
comes from Google's cache:

[ It turns up slightly garbled in my Mozilla (1.6) screen, but still
readable ]

Hope this is useful.

I am under the impression that you skip the last few steps - the
Intel compiler will inform you which of the loops it managed to
vectorize.
