Looks good.

Suggestions for followup improvements:


test/jdk/jdk/incubator/vector/testng/Byte128VectorTests.java:

   33 public class Byte128VectorTests {
   34     static final int SIZE = 128 * 1000;
   35     static final ByteVector.ByteSpecies<Shapes.S128Bit> species = 
(ByteVector.ByteSpecies<Shapes.S128Bit>)
   36                 Vector.speciesInstance(Byte.class, Shapes.S_128_BIT);


test/jdk/jdk/incubator/vector/testng/Byte256VectorTests.java

   33 public class Byte256VectorTests {
   34     static final int SIZE = 256 * 1000;
   35     static final ByteVector.ByteSpecies<Shapes.S256Bit> species = 
(ByteVector.ByteSpecies<Shapes.S256Bit>)
   36                 Vector.speciesInstance(Byte.class, Shapes.S_256_BIT);

You can have a single test per element type parameterized by vector 
size. The size can be controlled from command-line (either by argument 
or system property). Then having multiple @run commands enumerating all 
implemented sizes.
