--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Purpose

Provide C macro definitions and a C++ class template that help
vectorisation.



2. Build-time choices

Several choices can be made via configuration options, which can be
set to "yes" or "no":

VECTORISE (default "no"): Vectorise. Otherwise, scalar code is
generated, and the other options have no effect.



VECTORISE_ALIGNED_ARRAYS (default "no", experimental): Assume that all
arrays have an extent in the x direction that is a multiple of the
vector size. This allows aligned load operations e.g. for finite
differencing operators in the y and z directions. (Setting this
produces faster code, but may lead to segfaults if the assumption is
not true.)

VECTORISE_ALWAYS_USE_UNALIGNED_LOADS (default "no", experimental):
Replace all aligned load operations with unaligned load operations.
This may simplify some code where alignment is unknown at compile
time. This should never lead to better code, since the default is to
use aligned load operations iff the alignment is known to permit this
at build time. This options is probably useless.

VECTORISE_ALWAYS_USE_ALIGNED_LOADS (default "no", experimental):
Replace all unaligned load operations by (multiple) aligned load
operations and corresponding vector-gather operations. This may be
beneficial if unaligned load operations are slow, and if vector-gather
operations are fast.

VECTORISE_INLINE (default "no"): Inline functions into the loop body
as much as possible.  This can cause some compilers to run out of
memory for complex codes. (Enabling this may increase code size, which
can degrade performance if the instruction cache is small, but may
lead to increased performance due to omission of function-call
overhead.)

VECTORISE_STREAMING_STORES (default "yes"): Use streaming stores, i.e.
use store operations that bypass the cache. (Disabling this produces
slower code.)

VECTORISE_EMULATE_AVX (default "no", experimental): Emulate AVX
instructions with SSE2 instructions. This produces slower code, but
can be used to test AVX code on systems that don't support AVX.



3. Tests

Correctness testing is run at startup (in CCTK_PARAMCHECK) provided the
Vectors thorn is in the list of ActiveThorns. This aims to test all vector
operations by comparing the results with the same operations done using a
scalar implementation. The number of passed tests is always reported. If any
test fails, the run is aborted immediately.

% *======================================================================*
%  Cactus Thorn template for ThornGuide documentation
%  Author: Ian Kelley
%  Date: Sun Jun 02, 2002
%  $Header$
%
%  Thorn documentation in the latex file doc/documentation.tex
%  will be included in ThornGuides built with the Cactus make system.
%  The scripts employed by the make system automatically include
%  pages about variables, parameters and scheduling parsed from the
%  relevant thorn CCL files.
%
%  This template contains guidelines which help to assure that your
%  documentation will be correctly added to ThornGuides. More
%  information is available in the Cactus UsersGuide.
%
%  Guidelines:
%   - Do not change anything before the line
%       % START CACTUS THORNGUIDE",
%     except for filling in the title, author, date, etc. fields.
%        - Each of these fields should only be on ONE line.
%        - Author names should be separated with a \\ or a comma.
%   - You can define your own macros, but they must appear after
%     the START CACTUS THORNGUIDE line, and must not redefine standard
%     latex commands.
%   - To avoid name clashes with other thorns, 'labels', 'citations',
%     'references', and 'image' names should conform to the following
%     convention:
%       ARRANGEMENT_THORN_LABEL
%     For example, an image wave.eps in the arrangement CactusWave and
%     thorn WaveToyC should be renamed to CactusWave_WaveToyC_wave.eps
%   - Graphics should only be included using the graphicx package.
%     More specifically, with the "\includegraphics" command.  Do
%     not specify any graphic file extensions in your .tex file. This
%     will allow us to create a PDF version of the ThornGuide
%     via pdflatex.
%   - References should be included with the latex "\bibitem" command.
%   - Use \begin{abstract}...\end{abstract} instead of \abstract{...}
%   - Do not use \appendix, instead include any appendices you need as
%     standard sections.
%   - For the benefit of our Perl scripts, and for future extensions,
%     please use simple latex.
%
% *======================================================================*
%
% Example of including a graphic image:
%    \begin{figure}[ht]
% 	\begin{center}
%    	   \includegraphics[width=6cm]{MyArrangement_MyThorn_MyFigure}
% 	\end{center}
% 	\caption{Illustration of this and that}
% 	\label{MyArrangement_MyThorn_MyLabel}
%    \end{figure}
%
% Example of using a label:
%   \label{MyArrangement_MyThorn_MyLabel}
%
% Example of a citation:
%    \cite{MyArrangement_MyThorn_Author99}
%
% Example of including a reference
%   \bibitem{MyArrangement_MyThorn_Author99}
%   {J. Author, {\em The Title of the Book, Journal, or periodical}, 1 (1999),
%   1--16. {\tt http://www.nowhere.com/}}
