Abstract

A system and method for vectorizing a non-innermost loop of a nested loop. Iterative loops of a nested loop are analyzed to determine if they can be vectorized (vector legality). If more than one iterative loop can be vectorized, a selection criteria is applied to select the iterative loop which would provide the most return from vectorization (vector selection).
