Hi Bradley
2009/8/25 Bradley Lucier lucier@math.purdue.edu:
I just ran an experiment where I added every combination of 0, 1, and 2 options from the following list to the standard options for Gambit on x86-64 Linux and the development (4.5.0) gcc compiler, and measured the speed of the direct and inverse FFT transforms used in bignum multiplication:
It just reminded me of something I can't remember seeing on this very list: acovea. It's genetic algorithms to find the best compiler options…
It's almost at least 5 years old but since Gambit is a program that we compile often, it may be worth it. More informations at http://www.coyotegulch.com/products/acovea/index.html
P!
