Intel AVX has variable vector lengths of 128bit and 256bit.
There are 128bit INT and 256bit FP vector arithmetic operations
as well as asymmetric vector conversion operations:
256bit vector (V4DF/V4DI) <-> 256bit vector (D4SI/V4SF)
256bit vector (V8SI) <-> 256bit vecor (V8SF)
The current vectorizer only supports different vector
size based on scalar type. But it doesn't support asymmetric
vector conversion nor different vector size based on
operation. The current AVX branch limits vector size
to 128bit for vectorizer:
/* ??? No autovectorization into MMX or 3DNOW until we can reliably
place emms and femms instructions.
FIXME: AVX has 32byte floating point vector operations and 16byte
integer vector operations. But vectorizer doesn't support
different sizes for integer and floating point vectors. We limit
vector size to 16byte. */
#define UNITS_PER_SIMD_WORD(MODE) \
(TARGET_AVX ? (((MODE) == DFmode || (MODE) == SFmode) ? 16 : 16) \
: (TARGET_SSE ? 16 : UNITS_PER_WORD))
