floats on 060
Posted by: deez Jan,31.2014-16:53 

Hi all,

What kind of performance can one expect from using 32-bit floats on the 060? I remember going from all fixedpoint on my 030 to floats (because it was much easier!) when I got my CT60 without doing much performance testing so now I'm curious.

I think I read somewhere that the 060 can in thery execute one integer instruction and one float instruction in parallel, how does that apply to real code? Does a recent gcc help at all with this or are we stuck at optimising on instruction basis in assembly?

Fredrik.
