==== Auto-vectorization ====
* [https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/tree-ssa/vectorization.html Auto-Vectorization in GCC] - Main project page for the GCC auto-vectorizer.
* [http://locklessinc.com/articles/vectorize/ Auto-vectorization with gcc 4.7] - An excellent discussion of the capabilities and limitations of the GCC auto-vectorizer, intrinsics for providing hints to GCC, and other code pattern changes that can improve results. Note that there has been some improvement in the auto-vectorizer since this article was written. '''This article is strongly recommended.'''
* [https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/8c/a9/CompilerAutovectorizationGuide.pdf Intel (Auto)Vectorization Tutorial] - this deals with the Intel compiler (ICC) but the general technical discussion is valid for other compilers such as gcc and llvm
==== Inline Assembly Language ====
* [[Inline Assembly Language]]
* [http://developer.arm.com ARM Developer Information Centre]
** [https://developer.arm.com/products/architecture/a-profile/docs/den0024/a ARM Cortex-A Series Programmer’s Guide for ARMv8-A]
