Abstract
Generally, this disclosure provides technologies for generating and executing partially vectorized code that may include backward dependencies within a loop body of the code to be vectorized. The method may include identifying backward dependencies within a loop body of the code; selecting one or more ranges of iterations within the loop body, wherein the selected ranges exclude the identified backward dependencies; and vectorizing the selected ranges. The system may include a vector processor configured to provide predicated vector instruction execution, loop iteration range enabling, and dynamic loop dependence checking.
