Got't. Thank you, Angel & Martin.

Hi Li,

as pointed out before, this is just a informational message by the compiler that 
a certain loop was vectorized. Vectorization usually improves performance, so 
seeing this message is usally good. Vectorization can change the results (at the 
truncation level), so sometimes you want to suppress vectorization, but I think 
in your case you should not worry about this. With "my" ifort, the vectorization 
is enabled by the "-x", and you can control the length of the messages by 
-vec-report[n], default for n=1, I guess -vec-report0 turns off the messages. 
See "man ifort" for more details on these compiler options.
