I have been reading the Core-i7 developers manual and looking at libm.
I have been trying to shoe horn some calculations between the sizes of
fpu instructions and libgmp.
I think there is little support for 128-bit floating point in the
Core-i7 3930K CPU.
The code which uses __float128 implements functions in software and use
the 80-bit fpu instructions to assist.
I believe there is some speed improvement with the 128-bit registers.
But, I can find no floating point instructions that operate on 128-bit
floating point, like there is for 80-bit.
The bottom line seems to be little gain in floating point operations
with the core-i7 CPU.
Or, am I missing something?
#include quadmath.h
#include stdio.h
int main() {
char buf[128];
__float128 x = sqrtq(2.0Q);
quadmath_snprintf(buf, sizeof buf, %.45Qf,x);
printf(sin(%s) = ,buf);
quadmath_snprintf(buf, sizeof buf, %.45Qf,sinq(x));
printf(%s\n,buf);
return 0;
}
gcc46 math.c -o math /usr/local/lib/gcc46/libquadmath.a /usr/lib/libm.a
Looking at the output of objdump -d math shows software implementation
of sqrtq() and sinq(). gcc46 does use the fsqrt instruction but not fsin.

gcc46 is generating 80-bit floating point instructions.

I can get gfortran46 to generate 128-bit instructions.

My monitor reports several modes that are not supported with the Vesa driver. The ones I am interested in are 1920x1080x0.0, which I do not understand and 1920x1080x60.0. I want a 1920x1080 display.

CPUFreq
HP Envy 17 3D Notebook uname -a FreeBSD Envy.tddhome 8.2-STABLE FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #3: \ Mon Oct 24 11:38:59 PDT 2011 \ tomdean@Envy.tddhome:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 dmesg ... CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2820QM CPU @ 2.30GHz (2294.80-MHz K8-class CPU) ... I screwed the cpufreq settings and cannot get back to the default (boot) performance. The value of dev.cpu.0.freq was 800 and this seemed strange. I have two processes running that I do not want to stop. They have been running for 19 days and I expect they will finish in another 10 days, or so. The core temps before I started messing with things were Wed Nov 30 04:36:41 PST 2011 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 72.0C dev.cpu.0.temperature: 73.0C dev.cpu.1.temperature: 73.0C dev.cpu.2.temperature: 70.0C dev.cpu.3.temperature: 70.0C dev.cpu.4.temperature: 72.0C dev.cpu.5.temperature: 72.0C dev.cpu.6.temperature: 72.0C dev.cpu.7.temperature: 72.0C and, a couple dev.cpu.0 values: dev.cpu.0.freq: 800 dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2301/45000 2012/39375 1800/33127 1600/28627 1400/24305 1225/21266 1200/20566 1050/17995 1000/16595 875/14520 800/12801 700/11200 600/9600 500/8000 400/6400 300/4800 200/3200 I started changing dev.cpu.0.freq and got out-of-whack! sudo sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq=2301 dev.cpu.0.freq: 800 - 2310 OK, I thought. But, dev.cpu.0.temperature started rising and went to the mid-80's. I changed it to a lower value and the temperature dropped, as expected. sudo sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq=2012 dev.cpu.0.freeq: 2310 - 2012 sysctl dev.cpu.0.temperature dev.cpu.0.temperature: 65.0C The fan is silent. I believe the CPU is running at some state different than the boot state because the temperature has dropped. sysctl dev.cpu.0 dev.cpu.0.%desc: ACPI CPU dev.cpu.0.%driver: cpu dev.cpu.0.%location: handle=\_PR_.CPU0 dev.cpu.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0 dev.cpu.0.%parent: acpi0 dev.cpu.0.coretemp.delta: 35 dev.cpu.0.coretemp.resolution: 1 dev.cpu.0.coretemp.tjmax: 100.0C dev.cpu.0.coretemp.throttle_log: 0 dev.cpu.0.temperature: 65.0C dev.cpu.0.freq: 2012 dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2301/45000 2012/39375 1800/33127 1600/28627 1400/24305 1225/21266 1200/20566 1050/17995 1000/16595 875/14520 800/12801 700/11200 600/9600 500/8000 400/6400 300/4800 200/3200 100/1600 dev.cpu.0.cx_supported: C1/1 C2/104 dev.cpu.0.cx_lowest: C1 dev.cpu.0.cx_usage: 100.00% 0.00% last 305us Is there any way to get back to the boot state other than rebooting? tomdean ___ freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-amd64-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Put it in /etc/rc.conf : powerd_enable=YES powerd_flags=-a adp -m 800 Making this change and starting powerd put me back to the state where dev.cpu.0.temperature: 83.0C # changing 82..85 dev.cpu.0.freq: 2301 I am confused about what side effect modified behavior when I changed dev.cpu.0.freq initially. Somehow, this change got the system away from the boot state. Since then, I have not seen the state where dev.cpu.0.temperature was in the low to mid 70's. When I have dev.cpu.0.freq: 2012, dev.cpu.0.temperature is below 60C. When I have dev.cpu.0.freq: 2301, dev.cpu.0.temperature is above 80C. So, the load on the CPU is not the same as when in the boot state. I don't understand this. tomdean ___ freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-amd64-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
