+The SLP Vectorizer
+==========================
+
+The SLP vectorizer (superword-level parallelism) is a new experimental 
+infrastructure for vectorizing code and rolling loops. 
+A major focus of the work on the SLP vectorizer is to make it fast and
+flexible. It is designed as a library that can be used by other passes.
+
+The SLP vectorizer is in early development stages but can already vectorize
+and accelerate many programs in the LLVM test suite.
