Very interesting paper that proposes an algorithm for Vectorizing “loopified” Matlab code:

A Dimension Abstraction Approach to Vectorization in Matlab

I briefly skimmed through this paper and found a few interesting ideas such as the “Loop Pattern Database” and the Vectorization algorithm which I think are pretty neat. There is a powerpoint presentation accompanying the paper which I have attached below for easy view.
