Subject: [gentoo-user] About this graphite stuff
Date: Sun, 29 Jan 2012 20:23:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120129202318.5d778af8@weird.wonkology.org> (raw)

Hi there!

Due to a MAJOR hardware problem I just got a new PC. It has an AMD
FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor which is a lot faster than my previous
AMD 4850e dual core machine. I'd like to emerge -e @world with
-march=native now, but I think about starting to use that graphite stuff.
You know, enabling the graphite USE flag for gcc, and adding
-floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine -floop-block to the CFLAGS in order
to gain some speed by parallelizing stuff or something like that. 

What are your impressions on this? Is it fun? Will there be a noticeable
speed difference? Do packages fail to build? We just had a 'Graphite
causing trouble' thread here, the problem was that dev-libs/cloog-ppl
has to be rebuilt when dev-libs/ppl has been updated. Can there be other
problems, which would make me waste much more time than I could
possibly gain by using these optimizations?

	Wonko
