support for SIMD in Hotspot (c2)

[Vitaly Davidovich]

Hi guys,

Are there any current plans to support SIMD SSE/AVX vector ops in c2 (i.e.
loop vectorization transforms)? I came across a few related Oracle(Sun) RFEs
in the database, saw the superword.hpp/cpp source in the OpenJDK repository,
and did a bit of googl'ing but cannot tell where this stands at the moment.

Thanks,

Vitaly
