For auto-vectorization, look at:
http://polaris.cs.uiuc.edu/~garzaran/doc/pact11.pdf
http://polaris.cs.uiuc.edu/~maleki1/TSVC.tar.gz

If you're looking for auto-parallelization, I can ask around.

  Thanks for the sharing. If that doesn't bother you too much, I would like
to
know auto-parallelization benchmarks. :p

  Just curious. I was thinking that auto-parallelization in compiler
optimization
is not mature/practical, that's why I thought there is no
auto-parallelization
benchmark. Do you know any project on this? Thanks.

Regards,
chenwj

Don't take this the wrong way, but ...
Auto-parallelization techniques in compilers  have been mature since
the late 70's.

There are plenty of benchmarks and test suites

The typical ones are:

Parallel Loops (by Cray/Oak Ridge)
The Perfect Benchmarks
Livermore loops
LINPACK
NAS Parallel Benchmarks
etc

You just have to realize that compiler parallelization happened in
Fortran *many many* years before it became common for C/C++/etc

Yes, auto-parallelization is not practical, but it solves something. So it
should have benchmarks.
