Hi,
the 3 patches referenced below implement some faster exp10f code, inspired by
the expf code, that is much faster than the current one (tested on x86_64).
Here are the "make bench" results (I had to add an entry for exp10f):
before new code:
"exp10f": {
"": {
"duration": 3.40525e+09,
"iterations": 6.4368e+07,
"max": 65906.3,
"min": 24.056,
"mean": 52.9029
}
with new code:
"exp10f": {
"": {
"duration": 3.30806e+09,
"iterations": 1.59728e+08,
"max": 39557.8,
"min": 16.104,
"mean": 20.7106
}
I disabled the code in math/w_exp10f_compat.c by adding #if 0 ... #endif
around it, since I don't know how to properly do it.
