Hi all!
On Sunday, 20 March, 2005, the Tel Aviv Linux club will once again gather to
hear the presentation of Herouth Maoz about GIMP 2.2. The presentation will
take place at 18:30 at Schreiber 007, Tel Aviv University.
GIMP is a sophisticated, open-source image manipulation program for UNIX

Howdie ladies (and gentlemen),
I just got a call from a guy who's running a "highly optimized math app
in Java" on xeon (I didn't know JVM's had strong VFPUs...) and just got
himself an Itanium to get better performance. He was very surprised to
get 25% of the speed on the new platform and wondere
Well, I know of at least one place doing maths on Java. They believe

BIG pile of machines at a given problem.
Itaniums, vis-a-vis-performance, are not such a great find. For some,
very specific,
tasks with LARGE in-cache data sets they are useful, but mostly a waste
of cache.

Looks to me like oxymoron.
I'll be generous and give credit to the guy for neglecting to tell you
that he uses JNI and a native math library for his inner loops.
If he moved the math library as it is
Hi All,
Putting the JIT aside for a moment, consider an arbitrary C/C++ application
optimized for Xeon - will it run faster, unconditionally, on Itanium?
I guess that 'to get better performance on Itanium' this guy should get an
optimized JVM *for* Itanium. In Java, performance varies dramatically

Describe "optimized for Xeon". What extensions are you referring to ?
(and please don't say SIMD).
I guess that 'to get bet
