<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Hello, I m working on a hardware with very large vector width till v2048. Now when I vectorize using llvm default vectorizer maximum 2047 iterations are scalar remainder loop. These are not vectorized by llvm which
increases the cost. However these should be vectorized using next available vector width I.e v1024, v512, v256, v128, v64, v32, v16, v8, v4.....<o:p></o:p></p>
