Weimar, Joerg Richard2013-06-192013-06-191990http://hdl.handle.net/10919/19604A comparison between sequential code and vectorization code for matrix multiplication is made and the possible ways to vectorize matrix multiplication are examined. The result is that vectorization of the correct loop results in a speedup of almost 3 for vectors that are long enough, i.e., longer than or equal to half the vector length of the machine. The number and order of memory references is a very important factor.application/pdfenIn CopyrightTechnical reportTR-90-14http://eprints.cs.vt.edu/archive/00000196/01/TR-90-14.pdf
