+Auto-vectorization is the easiest and more portable way to get vectorization.
+The compiler recognize several vectiorization options.
+Main vectorization options:
+^     ^  Intel compiler   ^
+^ KNL      | -xMIC-AVX512  |
+^ BDW      | -xCORE-AVX2   |
+^ Disable  | -no-vec       |
+Not all loops can be vectorized:
+Some examples:
+  * Loop with dependencies between iterations
+<code>
+for (i=1; i<MAX; i++) {
+   d[i] = e[i] – a[i-1];
+   a[i] = b[i] + c[i];
+}
+</code>
+  * Complex loops
+  * Function calls inside the loop:
+      for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)   a[i] = foo(b[i]);
+  * Loops on data that are not aligned in memory
