Re: altivec/velocity engine examples



Did you look at the VAST PDF here?
http://www.crescentbaysoftware.com/docs/vastfav.pdf

It has before optimization/after optimization examples with explanations of each optimization that VAST can do automatically. Specifically chapter 6, 7 and 8 are the most interesting.

Personally, after reading all that, I'm more inclined to buy VAST than try to do all that to my own code. :)

I've looked at that many times and its not really helped me.
Any real-world examples? Any before/after code snippets?

Thanks!

Anyone have any Fortran examples using the velocity-engine (vector processor) to improve performance?

The developer documentation has a small code sample from Ian.
http://developer.apple.com/hardware/ve/fortran.html

the code is here:
http://developer.apple.com/hardware/ve/downloads/fortran_sample.tar.gz

information about optimizing with VAST (including a small optimized Fortran source) is here:
http://hpc.sourceforge.net/index2.php


and finally, the VAST user guide for Altivec & Fortran has a lot of good general info, even if you aren't planning on using VAST.
