All examples of gcc farm use on the POWER systems is a good thing. Thanks! One nit from the above commit: > The ultra SMT/SMP POWER6/7 processors are build from lots of > "smaller" "simpler" high freq. cores. One main point is that > they are strictly in-order execution CPUs. Actually, only the POWER6 core was in-order. The POWER4, POWER5, POWER7 and POWER8 cores are all out-of-order cores. That said, I'm sure unrolling the loop like you did is beneficial for all of them.
