Well, if that's a fat binary build, at least MPIR (and hence also MPFR, MPC etc.) will partially use SSE2 and SSE3 when available. > The reason of this change is related to this thread: > https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/sage-devel/8MYGxWQBEzs > http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mathematics.sage.devel/79116 > I used to use a genuine 32bit hardware for this but since the build was > stuck on 6.6, i then used a VM that i use for Debian/Ubuntu binaries. A while ago, I did build Sage on a (700 MHz IIRC) Pentium III with just 128 or 256 MB RAM, with a SATA2-attached SSD (also or just, I don't recall, containing the swap partition), which went surprisingly fast. -leif -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-release" group.
