Yes, see $(VLLVM)/docs/VectorCReference.txt, where $(VLLVM) means the  
source directory of the Vector LLVM tree.

Note that the Vector LLVM tree is way out of date with mainline LLVM,  
and some of the vector operations (e.g. arithmetic, shuffling,  
extracting and inserting scalars) are now available in mainline for  
fixed-length or "packed" vectors.  The experimental Vector LLVM  
branch allows some additional vector operations (e.g., compare,  
select, pack, and unpack) and also has support for arbitrary-length  
vectors.  Mainline vector support continues to improve, and many of  
the additional "packed" operations supported by Vector LLVM will  
eventually be part of mainline.  Right now I am working on adding  
compare and select to mainline and hope to get that checked in soon.
