Aligning data to cache lines boundaries helps to avoid overheads related to an access to it ([1]). This patch aligns newly created arrays and adds an option to specify the first level cache line size. By default we use 64 bytes, which is a typical cache-line size ([2]). In case of Intel Core i7-3820 SandyBridge and the following options, clang -O3 gemm.c -I utilities/ utilities/polybench.c -DPOLYBENCH_TIME -march=native -mllvm -polly -mllvm -polly-pattern-matching-based-opts=true -DPOLYBENCH_USE_SCALAR_LB -mllvm -polly-target-cache-level-associativity=8,8 -mllvm -polly-target-cache-level-sizes=32768,262144 -mllvm -polly-target-latency-vector-fma=8 it helps to improve the performance from 11.303 GFlops/sec (39,247% of theoretical peak) to 12.63 GFlops/sec (43,8542% of theoretical peak).
