I'm stil trying to get access to PPC. Linux on PPC should have lrint/lrintf
so thats not a big issue. I'm much more interested in gettig access to
MacOS.
I did run this on UltraSparc II and could not get any speed improvement in
going from cast -> integer pipeline operations. I still haven't figured out
whether this is because the UltraSparc II has a shallow pipleine wrt i386
or whether the UltraSparc has a specific assembler instruction for float
to int casts. I should also try this on UltraSparc III which I has a deeper
pipeline than USII.
