[vector] Keeping the samples updated

[Viswanathan, Sandhya]

Hi Brian,

There are some examples in the test directory:
test/jdk/jdk/incubator/vector/
Files: AddTest.java, VectorHash.java, VectorRuns.java, VectorArrays.java

And some more in the benchmark directory:
test/jdk/jdk/incubator/vector/benchmark/src/main/java/benchmark/jdk/incubator/vector/

The above two sets of files are being updated as the API evolves.

Best Regards,
Sandhya

As we go through our several rounds of API realignment, we'll surely cause some disruption to users who have been trying the code out as we go.  For example, the examples on this page:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/vector-api-developer-program-for-java

no longer compile.  Perhaps we could include, in our tests directory, some "example" code which is kept compiling as we update the API, so users always have known-good code to cut and paste from to get them started?
