Hello world,
the attached patch adds an AVX-specific version of the matmul
intrinsic to the Fortran library. This works by using the target_clones
attribute.
For testing, I compiled this on powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu,
without any ill effects.
Also, a resulting binary reached around 15 GFlops for larger matrices
on a 3.4 GHz i7-2600 CPU. I am currently building/regtesting on
that machine. This can give another 40% speed increase for large
matrices on AVX.
OK for trunk?
Did you intend to name it avx_matmul and not aux_matmul?
Are the compiler flags for avx handled automatically by the gcc attributes so no
need to endit the Makefile.am?
Fix the first and if yes to the second question, OK
