Back in Delphi 2+3 days, I used the highly optimizing Watcom Fortran compiler to make dll's for number crunching using various ACM algorithms. The interface was via arrays passed to the Fortran functions whose memory was allocated in the calling program.
1) Can it be done with Delphi 9? 2) Does the Delphi 9 compiler use SSE instructions where appropriate or must one use these with in-line assembler? 3) Is it worth while acquiring an Intel Fortran or C compiler which allegedly makes use of SSE to make such dll's or is that Intel vaporware? 4) Is there a cheaper optimizing compiler which uses SSE/MMX for making number-crunching dll's?
