Posted 3 Dec 2015 by DigiK-oz Post: Will the new app be optimized in any way? Looking at the various optimized versions of the previous version, available here on the forum, it appears that optimizing the app isn't too hard, probably just setting some optimization options on compile. For instance, enabling SSE3 instructions would probably speed the original app up quite a bit, and leave hardly anybody "out" (SSE3 has been around in most CPU's for about 10 years now). I would much prefer using the "officail" app as that will be tested/verified to produce correct results. But, a speed increase of about 10-fold will drive basically everyone to the "3rd party" apps. I don't mind using these "forum-supplied" optimized apps, however I can imagine the project having problems testing/validating all these "third-party" apps. That can be avoided by supplying an at least partially optimized "official" app. |
