Since you will want to focus on the vectorization passes, I would start by reading gcc/tree-vect*.[ch]. As you find areas that you don't understand, refer to the gcc internal's manual (http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/) and the wiki (http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/). Also feel free to ask questions here.
