Abstract
A compilation method includes converting memory access instructions that read or write less than a minimum data access unit (MDAU) to memory access instructions that read or write a multiple of the minimum data access unit, converting the memory access instructions into a format including a base address plus an offset, grouping subsets of the converted memory access instructions into partitions, and vectorizing the converted memory access instructions in the subsets that match instruction patterns.
