We isolate full tiles from partial tiles to be able to, for example, vectorize
loops with parametric lower and/or upper bounds.
If we use -polly-vectorizer=stripmine, we can see execution-time improvements:
correlation from 1m7361s to 0m5720s (-67.05 %), covariance from 1m5561s to
0m5680s (-63.50 %), ary3 from 2m3201s to 1m2361s (-46.72 %), CrystalMk from
8m5565s to 7m4285s (-13.18 %).
The current full/partial tile separation increases compile-time more than
necessary. As a result, we see in compile time regressions, for example, for 3mm
from 0m6320s to 0m9881s (56.34%). Some of this compile time increase is expected
as we generate more IR and consequently more time is spent in the LLVM backends.
However, a first investiagation has shown that a larger portion of compile time
is unnecessarily spent inside Polly's parallelism detection and could be
eliminated by propagating existing knowledge about vector loop parallelism.
Before enabling -polly-vectorizer=stripmine by default, it is necessary to
address this compile-time issue.
