@TapetBart depends on the semantic of the language, and tons of other things, but yes compiler can't do everything. Especially compilers that were not designed for vectorizing from scratch

@Bestmann3n it goes both ways without SIMD instructions you can’t really take full advantage of good memory layout, and without a good memory layout you can’t get the best out of SIMD.

@inquisitor1017 Compilers who provide vectors within the type system can reduce the pain of portable SIMD, as the semantic of the type can be mapped to the target supported intrinsics.

@TapetBart Yes that's why I've mentioned that without SIMD you can't take "full advantage" of the good memory layout, but yes good memory layout is always good. regardless of the SIMD support.
