One thing just struck me: The loop variables should be index_type, so const index_type m = xcount, n = ycount, k = count; [...] index_type a_dim1, a_offset, b_dim1, b_offset, c_dim1, c_offset, i1, i2, i3, i4, i5, i6; /* Local variables */ GFC_REAL_4 t1[65536], /* was [256][256] */ f11, f12, f21, f22, f31, f32, f41, f42, f13, f14, f23, f24, f33, f34, f43, f44; index_type i, j, l, ii, jj, ll; index_type isec, jsec, lsec, uisec, ujsec, ulsec; I agree that we should do the tuning of the inline limit separately.Several of my iterations used index_type. I found using integer gives better performance. The reason is that they are of type ptr_diff_t which is a 64 bit integer. I suspect we eliminate one memory fetch for each of these and reduce the register loading by reducing the number of registers needed, two for one situation. I will change back and retest. and Paul commeneted "-ftree-vectorize turns on -ftree-loop-vectorize and -ftree-slp-vectorize already." I will remove those to options and keep -ftree-vectorize I will report back my findings.
Changed back to index_type, all OK, must have been some OS stuff running in the background.
