similar to the cocoa books thread, can anybody suggest a good tutorial for learning how to optimize for Altivec? Are there any free vector optimizing compilers (eg preprocessors to optimize completely non-vector code ala VAST)?

so far I’ve found (but haven’t started seriously reading)
http://home.san.rr.com/altivec/index.html
http://www.altivec.org/
http://www.psrv.com/dpce/tutorial.html
http://www.psrv.com/documents/VAST_AltiVec/VAST_AltiVec_FAQ.html
http://www.mot.com/SPS/PowerPC/AltiVec/
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/CoreTechnologies/vDSP/vDSP.html
http://developer.apple.com/hardware/ve/

and numerous PDFs at those sites.

I’m going to be writing some scientific code that should be highly vectorizeable.
