One of my coworkers is looking for some instructional examples on
optimization on newer architectures.  He would like to present his
class with canonical examples of optimization procedures and
the compiler generated listing of the emitted code.  I believe
that Argonne under Jack Dongerra is doing something, but would appreciate
any examples.

In a related area, the local wisdom is that VAST as produced by
Pacific-Sierra is the best vectorizer available.  Can someone
point me to some references of what they're doing?
