ok, I am not as familiar with the PPC arch as I should be. the CPU in my powerbook is a G3 750. according to a couple of searches, this chip comes with AltiVec instructions. However, the version of linux (Ubuntu 10.10) was apparently not compiled with that option in mind.
my question is: how can I determine if the CPU in my machine is capable of using Altivec and if so, how can I setup a compiler back-end to offload the lion's share of the compiling to? -Eric --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
