It turned out, much simpler kernel suffers from the same problem. void foo1x1(double* restrict y, const double* restrict x, int clen) { int xi = clen & 2; double f_re = x[0+xi+0]; double f_im = x[4+xi+0]; int clen2 = (clen+xi) * 2; #pragma GCC unroll 0 for (int c = 0; c < clen2; c += 8) { // y[c] = y[c] - x[c]*conj(f); #pragma GCC unroll 4 for (int k = 0; k < 4; ++k) { double x_re = x[c+0+k]; double x_im = x[c+4+k]; double y_re = y[c+0+k]; double y_im = y[c+4+k]; y_re = y_re - x_re * f_re - x_im * f_im;; y_im = y_im + x_re * f_im - x_im * f_re; y[c+0+k] = y_re; y[c+4+k] = y_im; } } } May be, it's possible to simplify further, but probably not by much.
