Auto-Vectorization in LLVM
==========================
LLVM has two vectorizers: The *Loop Vectorizer*, which operates on Loops,
and the *Basic Block Vectorizer*, which optimizes straight-line code. These
vectorizers focus on different optimization opportunities and use different
techniques. The BB vectorizer merges multiple scalars that are found in the
code into vectors while the Loop Vectorizer widens instructions in the
original loop to operate on multiple consecutive loop iterations.
