+LLVM has two kind vectorizers: The :ref:`Loop Vectorizer <loop-vectorizer>`,
+which operates on Loops, and the :ref:`SLP Vectorizer
+<slp-vectorizer>`, which optimizes straight-line code. These vectorizers
focus on different optimization opportunities and use different techniques.
The BB vectorizer merges multiple scalars that are found in the code into
vectors while the Loop Vectorizer widens instructions in the original loop
