Now assume that we can use scatter-gather loads and stores (LVI and SVI). Assume that tiPL, tiPR, clL, clR, and clP are arranged consecutively in memory. For example, if seq_length==500, the tiPR array would begin 500 * 4 bytes after the tiPL array. How does this affect the way you can write the VMIPS code for this kernel? Assume that you can initialize vector registers with integers using the following technique which would, for example, initialize vector register V1 with values (0,0,2000,2000):

Assume the maximum vector length is 64. Is there any way performance can be improved using gather-scatter loads? If so, by how much?
