Introduction
The goal of this Guide is to provide guidelines for enabling compiler auto-vectorization with the Intel® C++ Compilers. This document is aimed at C/C++ programmers working on systems based on Intel® processors or compatible, non-Intel processors that support SIMD instructions such as Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions (Intel® SSE). This includes Intel 64 and most IA-32 systems, but excludes systems based on Intel® Itanium® processors. The examples presented refer to Intel SSE, but many of the principles apply also to other SIMD instruction sets. While the examples used are specific to C++ programs, much of the concepts discussed are equally applicable to Fortran programs.

This is the article that I want!
Vectorization is very important. I witnessed the performance boost in my app. Stay tuned!
