The other solution would be to have aligned allocators (it won't solve all cases, of course). Because the compilers will never be able to take care of the cases where you call external libraries (fftw, where we could have between 50 % and more than 100 % speed increase if we had aligned data buffers by default). > So I would just as soon leave vectorization to the compilers and wait > until they get that good. The only thing needed then is contiguous data. For non contiguous data, things will be extremely slow anyway, so I don't think those need a lot of attention. If you care about performances, you should not use non contiguous data. cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
