This is great stuff. Initial observations (under Linux/GCC) are that native threads are about 20% faster than OpenMP, so I surmise you are feeding LLVM some very tasty code. (I tested long loops with straightforward memory access.)
On the other hand, some of the earlier posts make me think that you were leveraging the strong vector optimization of the Intel C compiler and its tight coupling to MKL libraries. If so, is there any prospect of getting LLVM to take advantage of MKL?
