Would it make sense to hack speed mpn_mul.r to do that? Currently, specifying an r > 0 gives a fix size of the second operand, and r < 0 implies a fix product size of |r|. If we change the latter to instead imply a fixed ratio, e.g., use |r| / 100, by this change of line 1126 is speed.h: - if (size1 < 0) size1 = -size1 - s->size; \ + if (size1 < 0) size1 = -size1 * s->size / 100; \ we could specify a 3/5 = 60% ratio like tune$ ./speed -p 1000000 -c -s 10-200 -f1.1 mpn_mul.-60 overhead 5.00 cycles, precision 1000000 units of 9.94e-10 secs, CPU freq 1006.24 MHz mpn_mul.-60 10 135.27 11 148.22 12 180.78 13 192.64 14 230.74 15 272.04 16 296.78 17 340.74 18 349.28 19 432.63 20 481.87 22 548.86 24 650.80 26 724.24 28 861.18 30 1022.95 33 1184.50 36 1405.78 39 1652.40 42 1908.10 46 2280.28 50 2580.60 55 3136.99 60 3493.01 66 4095.82 72 4807.55 79 5422.07 86 6186.81 94 7193.20 103 8372.21 113 9886.82 124 11556.88 136 13422.05 149 16084.65 163 17925.33 179 20106.22 196 23446.72 Does that make sense? Or can you suggest some other interface to specify a fixed ratio? Regards, /Niels -- Niels Möller. PGP key CB4962D070D77D7FCB8BA36271D8F1FF368C6677.
