[PATCH] D19501: Add LoadStoreVectorizer pass

[Justin Lebar via llvm-commits]

jlebar added a comment.

Another question I have is: NVPTX has some vectorizable load instructions -- notably ld.global.nc, which means, load from the global address space using the texture cache -- that are modeled as as llvm intrinsics, so they don't get merged by this pass.  I wonder what's the portable way to teach this pass about these loads.  Like, should they be modeled in LLVM as regular load instructions with some sort of annotation, instead of as an LLVM intrinsic?
