Vector programs on OpenPOWER systems should follow the guide
and best practices for vector programming as outlined in
<xref linkend="VIPR.biendian" /> and in <xref

<para>
Compliant compilers on OpenPOWER systems should provide
suitable support for intrinsic functions, preferably as
built-in vector functions that translate to one or more
Power ISA instructions as described in <xref
linkend="VIPR.biendian" /> and in <xref
linkend="VIPR.vec-ref" />. Compliant compilers targeting a
supported ISA level (2.7 or 3.0, for example) should provide
support for all intrinsic functions valid for that ISA
level, except where an intrinsic function is marked as
phased in, deferred, or deprecated.
