Hello again,

I managed to find time to update all of the libfreevec benchmarks to the latest version 1.0.4 and also include more complete tests and added a non-ppc architecture (an Athlon X2 5000 @2.6Ghz) where the same tests were run (as 32-bit apps on a 64-bit Linux) for comparison. This is important for two reasons:

  • to find how PowerPC CPUs compare to a current popular x86 CPU (the same benchmarks will be done on an Intel CPU soon)
  • to find any deficiencies in glibc itself (as you will see there are many).

All benchmarks were run on OpenSuse 11.0, except for the G5 which uses Debian Lenny/testing. The compiler used was gcc 4.3.2. All functions have been tested to work correctly on each platform.
