Processor Optomisations...

Post by mgillespie »

Has anyone tried benchmarking to see if processor optomisations like SSE2 make any difference to WinVNC?

I compile my own UltraVNC, and have played around with the compiler switches to optomise them for Pentium 4 SSE2, but I wondered if it makes any difference?? ( I also did ZLib and JPegLib, and some other critical stuff)

Is there a good way to benchmark this stuff?

Anyone want to test my VC++ 7.1 (.NET2003) compiled SSE2 Winvnc?

Doesn't make a big difference (5%)...
Tested with intel compiler and cpu opts...
(jpeg is a difference, used in tight, but the we better use the
jpeg_mmx library instead of the normal.

mmx and sse acceleration require that certain functions
need to be rewritten ( 32 or 64 ) blocks.

Acceleration make a big difference when compression is rewritten in asm.
Did some test, and certain functions get a 1/8 "self time".
