Is loop vectorisation/unrolling safe for MPI logic?
I presume it is, but are there situations where
loop vectorisation could e.g. violate the order
of execution of MPI calls?
I *assume* that the intel compiler will not unroll loops that contain MPI
function calls. That's obviously an assumption, but I would think that unless
you put some pragmas in there that tell the compiler that it's safe to unroll,
the compiler will be somewhat conservative about what it automatically unrolls.
More generally, a Fortran compiler that optimizes aggressively could
"break" MPI code.

That said, you may not need to worry about this in your particular case.
