Good catch, and thanks so much for your input @fg1417 ! I will test the performance and disable auto-vectorization for double to short casting if the performance has regression. > https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/f2d2eef988c57cc9f6194a8fd5b2b422035ee68f/test/hotspot/jtreg/compiler/vectorization/runner/ArrayTypeConvertTest.java#L388-L392 Actually I didn't change the min vector size for `char` vectors in this patch. Relaxing `short` vectors to 32-bit is to support the vector cast for Vector API, and there is no `char` species in it. Do you think it's better to do the same change for `char` as well? This will just benefit auto-vectorization. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26057#issuecomment-3043711086
