Evidently the code with SIMD instructions is the equivalent of what the millicode does for SRST, but I may have misinterpreted what was said. Using the millicoded instruction is evidently less efficient because there is transition time to get into millicode mode.
And I have no idea how it works. Gary Weinhold Data Kinetics, Ltd. On 2015-03-11 12:01, [email protected] wrote:
Oh? I would love to see an example of how one can use one of those VECTOR FIND or VECTOR STRING RANGE COMPARE instructions to do something that approaches what SRST does. I must admit that I have no idea how that would work... Fred!
