Intel® Advisor provides design tools to help ensure your C/C++, Fortran, Data Parallel C++, OpenMP*, and OpenCL™ native/managed applications realize full performance potential on modern processors: Vectorization and Code Insights, CPU / Memory Roofline, Threading, Offload Modeling, GPU Roofline, and Flow Graph Analyzer.

Intel Advisor is available for download as a standalone installation and as part of Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit.

Vectorization and Code Insights perspective is a vectorization analysis tool that lets you identify loops that will benefit most from vectorization, identify what is blocking effective vectorization, explore the benefit of alternative data reorganizations, and increase the confidence that vectorization is safe.

One of the key Vectorization and Code Insights features is GUI-embedded recommendations on how to fix vectorization issues specific to your code. This page augments that GUI-embedded advice with links to web-based vectorization resources.

Understand Vectorization with Intel® Advisor

Use the following resources to start taking advantage of the power and flexibility of the Intel Advisor:

Sample-based Get Started Guide Vectorization Glossary Support & Forums

For detailed description and steps of the Vectorization and Code Insights workflow of the Intel Advisor, see the User Guide: Vectorization and Code Insights perspective.

The general Intel Advisor workflow looks as follows:

Recommendation: Follow the dark blue and orange steps to maximize your productivity as quickly as possible.

Intel Compiler Resources

Intel Advisor ships with C++ and Fortran mini-guides of vectorization-related Intel compiler options and directives. These mini-guides are composed of excerpted pages from the full Intel compiler guides. The Vectorization and Code Insights perspective requires the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler, Intel® C++ Compiler Classic, or Intel® Fortran Compiler Classic version 15.0 or higher to collect a full set of analysis data, including compiler diagnostics about vectorization constraints. The full compiler guides and vectorization diagnostics can be found below:

Compiler Guides & References

NOTE: A subset of metrics is available for binaries built with the GNU gcc* or Microsoft* compiler.

MPI Resources

The following resources are helpful if you are using the MPI.

Case Studies

Consider these resources if case studies interest you.

Additional Resources

The Intel® Developer Zone offers a wealth of vectorization resources. Many Advisor users find the following pages useful, either as context-rich repositories of links to resources or how-to guides.

These resources contain both information about vectorization and many links to appropriate additional resources. Note that some of these emphasize the vectorization capabilities of other Intel software development tools such as the compiler optimization reports and Intel® VTune™ Amplifier analyses; despite the different focus, they contain useful nuggets of vectorization information that apply across the board.

Also note that many resources are written to support the current Intel compiler version plus two previous versions. Much of the content in compiler resources written for a previous Intel compiler version still applies to the current Intel compiler version; in most cases, version differences are explained.

How-To Resources

The many miscellaneous articles and resources for vectorization available on the Intel Developer Zone are gathered here for your convenience.
