Hi All,
There was a post from [EMAIL PROTECTED] on March 12, '02,
to comp.lang.java.programmer on how the alignment of doubles
(lack of it actually) could potentially result in significant
performance degradation on jdk1.3 and 1.4.
More details here:
http://www.Graphics.Cornell.EDU/~bjw/javadouble/index.html
If this is a general problem with doubles, then VERY DEPRESSING
news indeed ... especially for people doing number crunching using doubles.
Please read the link, try the benchmark test and cast your vote for
Bug ID 4490869 on Sun's website. This bug, I believe, is not
currently in the Top 25 list of bugs. It will be worthwhile if
we all took time off to cast our votes.
Thanks
Raj Vaidya
