Re: latest trends in compiler optimization research?

Dear SM Ryan,
I worked many years ago on the Cyber 205 Fortran vectoriser; as good
as we got the vectoriser, most people still preferred to directly
use the vector notation added to Fortran.

I really like this comment of yours. I am writing a PhD on programming
embedded SIMD architectures, and would love to quote something like
that. Could you please let me know if there's any particular source I
could quote (papers, manuals, memoires, etc.)?

Of course, I'd be happy to hear any other comments from the members of
our esteemed community :).

Kind regards,
Anton.
