There's been much news lately about various compilers for the Intel
platforms after various benchmarks have come out which all disagree. One
that I noticed is that the new Intel processors have a math processor
that allows vector calculations, which I understand as being able to
pass an array and an operation to the processor to perform an iterative
calcuation as opposed to running the steps over and over again.
Does anyone know if these would be of signifcant value to MySQL, and are
there versions compiled with the Intel compiler as opposed to gcc to
demonstrate this with?
If not, does anyone have access to the Intel compilers to benchmark this
with?
