Is there any use of AVX instructions

Game · 2011-01-31 07:27:57

So,Is there any use of AVX instructions for DeSmuMe ?

zeromus · 2011-01-31 07:58:13

no, there is no support for instructions released last month on processors which are fast enough not to need them anyway to get good desmume performance.

I mean in very,very distant future will be they be usfull?

zeromus · 2011-01-31 18:53:56

no. in the very, very distant future they won't be needed.

Becouse CPUs will be very fast

And DeSmuME may be more optimized.

You need it now also,trust me.

ICC seems to do a descent job of using AVX. Searching the ASM files shows YMM registers being used 591 times with AVX instructions being used 58 times. Now idea if has any meaningful impact on performance. SB goes as slow as 2.2GHZ (no overclocking to save the day) with mobile parts likely even lower it might be of some use.

we havent got ICC successfully compiling desmume in a long time. it is tiresome dealing with intel's trial versions. if only they offered a free version of the windows compiler to open source programmers who toil away every day making their chips useful.

Besides, Intel's compiler/s are known to hinder performance on non-Intel CPUs.

ICC only supports up to SSE3 on non Intel processors though it might work if the Intel checks are patched out.
Even with the crippling ICC is usually faster than MSVC.

Now that SP1 is out if you have a SB CPU Game I can give you an AVX binary to test.

Don't have it just asking for future purchase.
