Hi Hameeza, Aside from Ashutosh's patch..... When the vector width is that large, we can't keep vectorizing remainder like below. It'll be a huge code size if nothing else ---- hitting ITLB miss because of this is very bad, for example. VF=2048 // main vector loop VF=1024 // vectorized remainder 1 VF=512 // vectorized remainder 2 ... Vectorize remainder until trip count is

>it cannot afford large size masks for large vectors So, even a standard way of vectorizing remainder in masked or unmasked fashion wouldn’t work, I suppose. Ouch. I suppose VPlan should be able to model this kind of gigantic remainder vector code (when the time comes). Not pretty at all, though. Now, be fully aware that Direction #2 is really a poor (or rather extremely poor) person’s
