[Numpy-discussion] Openmp support (was numpy's future (1.1 and beyond): which direction(s) ?)

[Scott Ransom]

Here are results under 64-bit linux using gcc-4.3 (which by
default turns on the various sse flags).  Note that -O3 is
significantly better than -O2 for the "simple" calls:

nimrod:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name" | head -1
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5450  @ 3.00GHz

nimrod:~$ gcc-4.3 --version
gcc-4.3 (Debian 4.3.0-1) 4.3.1 20080309 (prerelease)

nimrod:~$ gcc-4.3 -O2 vec_bench.c -o vec_bench
nimrod:~$ ./vec_bench
