On: Flavors of SIMD

[pjmlp]

Would not that be just a question of missing improvements?

If I recall correctly, OpenJDK can use FMA thanks to Intel contributions.

[gnufx → pjmlp]

I don't see how openjdk is related to the openmp pragma. GCC has no problem using FMA if you just let it, avoiding the pragma which simply says "simd".

[pjmlp → gnufx]

I understood that GCC auto-vectorization wouldn't do it currently, and hence gave an example where auto-vectorization does make use of it, assuming I remember Intel's session at CodeONE correctly.
