Abstract
A computing device with an optimizing compiler is disclosed that is configured to generate optimized machine code including a vector operation corresponding to multiple scalar operations where the vector operation is a single operation on multiple pairs of operands. The optimizing compiler includes a vector guard condition generator configured to generate a vector guard condition for one or more vector operations, a mapping module to generate a mapping between elements of the vector guard condition and positions of the relevant scalar operations in the non-optimized machine code or intermediate representation of the source code, and a guard condition handler configured to initiate execution from a particular scalar operation in the non-optimized machine code or intermediate representation if the vector guard condition is triggered. The computing device may include a non-optimizing compiler and/or an interpreter to perform execution of the scalar operations if the vector guard condition is triggered.
