I'm already assuming that we will have hints based on both architecture and compiler. The question is, how much do you want to splinter code to gain specialized benefits? Swapping out the runops loop is one thing. Rearchitecting the run-time engine, something else. (Examples for the sake of examples.) -- Bryan C. Warnock [EMAIL PROTECTED]
