Subject: Re: [PATCH] v12 Improves __ieee754_exp() performance by 6-11% on aarch64/sparc/x86.
Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2018 22:59:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d0c812bf-00bd-50ff-e811-de34c7e52dcc@oracle.com> (raw)

Further study confirmed that the existing code is as fast
or faster on several platforms when not following my code's
fast path, but my code runs faster when |x|  < 1.0397.

That being the case, I will be submitting a patch with
just the fast path added to the existing code. That should
give us the best of both approaches until such time as
Szabolcs Nagy's investigation gives better results.
