Hi Vladimir

I generated that code on my desktop. 
The generated code on the skylake server looks like this,
 and I have updated the bug with full main loop generated on skylake server and tests:

1d0   B31: #    B31 B32 <- B30 B31      Loop: B31-B31 inner main of N161 Freq: 1024.97
1d0     movslq  R11, RBP        # i2l
1d3     vmovdqul XMM1 k0,[RBX + #16 + R11 << #2]        ! load vector (64 bytes)
1de     vpaddd  XMM1,XMM1,[R9 + #16 + R11 << #2]        ! add packed16I
1e9     movdq   R10, XMM0       # spill
1ee     vmovdqul XMM2 k0,[R10 + #16 + R11]      ! load vector (64 bytes)
1f9     vpaddb  XMM2,XMM2,[R13 + #16 + R11]     ! add packed64B
204     vmovdqul [R14 + #16 + R11] k0,XMM2      ! store vector (64 bytes)
20f     vmovdqul XMM2 k0,[RDX + #80 + R11 << #1]        ! load vector (64 bytes)
21a     vmovdqul XMM3 k0,[R10 + #80 + R11]      ! load vector (64 bytes)
225     vpaddb  XMM3,XMM3,[R13 + #80 + R11]     ! add packed64B
230     vmovdqul [R14 + #80 + R11] k0,XMM3      ! store vector (64 bytes)
23b     vmovdqul XMM3 k0,[RAX + #80 + R11 << #1]        ! load vector (64 bytes)
246     vmovdqul XMM4 k0,[R10 + #144 + R11]     ! load vector (64 bytes)
251     vpaddb  XMM4,XMM4,[R13 + #144 + R11]    ! add packed64B
25c     vmovdqul [R14 + #144 + R11] k0,XMM4     ! store vector (64 bytes)
267     vmovdqul XMM4 k0,[RBX + #80 + R11 << #2]        ! load vector (64 bytes)
272     vmovdqul XMM5 k0,[R10 + #208 + R11]     ! load vector (64 bytes)
27d     vpaddb  XMM5,XMM5,[R13 + #208 + R11]    ! add packed64B
288     vmovdqul [R14 + #208 + R11] k0,XMM5     ! store vector (64 bytes)
293     vmovdqul XMM5 k0,[RDX + #16 + R11 << #1]        ! load vector (64 bytes)
29e     vpaddw  XMM5,XMM5,[RAX + #16 + R11 << #1]       ! add packed32S


Please let me know your thoughts.

Vivek

Now I am confused. Did you changed machine?
Originally vector size in code was 512 for integer arrays:

20c vmovdqul XMM0 k0,[RCX + #16 + R10 << #2]	! load vector (64 bytes)
217 vpaddd XMM0,XMM0,[RBX + #16 + R10 << #2]	! add packed16I
222 vmovdqul [RDX + #16 + R10 << #2] k0,XMM0	! store vector (64 bytes)

Latest code show that it is limited to 256:

143 vmovdqu XMM0,[R9 + #16 + R10 << #2] ! load vector (32 bytes) 14a vpaddd XMM0,XMM0,[R11 + #16 + R10 << #2] ! add packed8I

Why vectors are smaller?

And suggestion. Please, modify the test in the bug report to have separate test methods which only operates on byte[] and short[] arrays and their combination. It is to see the the change fixed limiting vector size for sub-integer types.

Thanks,
Vladimir

This additional approach augments that by some testing of constraints as the subword types are often occluded by sign and zero extension artifacts that would otherwise have caused the next common size to surface.  These subword types are only in the integer subtype domain.
