Just locate and run tune.exe - it will output a tuning file to the terminal screen which you can capture and use in place of the gmp-mparam.h file in the mpir\mpn\ sub-directory for your architecture (alternatively run tune.exe with its output redirected to a file). But sadly tune.exe is not robust on Windows and it often crashes for reasons that I haven't been able to fully determine. But if you run it several times you should be able to get a tuning run that successfully finishes. To see if you have made any improvements you can then build and run mpir_bench2.c linked to an mpir that has been built with the old tuning values and then a rebuilt mpir with your new ones and compare the results. We are always interested here in what sort of results you get so do let us know what you find. Do let me know if I can help in any other way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
