Abstract

See full text

A medium, method, and apparatus are disclosed for eliding superfluous function invocations in a vector-processing environment. A compiler receives program code comprising a width-contingent invocation of a function. The compiler creates a width-specific executable version of the program code by determining a vector width of a target computer system and omitting the function from the width-specific executable if the vector width meets one or more criteria. For example, the compiler may omit the function call if the vector width is greater than a minimum size.
