I'm using mpif90 with Intel 10 fortran complier:

% mpif90 -compile_info
ifort -I/usr/mpi/qlogic//include/mpich/intel10/x86_64 -c -I/usr/mpi/qlogic//include

If I don't specify any compiler options, the
compiler vectorises some loops:

% mpif90 p-grains1.f90
p-grains1.f90(123): (col. 1) remark: LOOP WAS VECTORIZED.
p-grains1.f90(250): (col. 35) remark: LOOP WAS VECTORIZED.

Is loop vectorisation/unrolling safe for MPI logic?
I presume it is, but are there situations where
loop vectorisation could e.g. violate the order
of execution of MPI calls?

many thanks
anton
