Re: Fastcode Library Test

Hi

The OS will be Windows XP or Windows Vista.
(It doesn't matter who will be from the both)

Fastcode has rules for which OS's to support. I cannot find them at our
site, but the MM supports these:

Memory Manager Challenge
The objective is to build the fastest replacement for the Delphi Memory
Manager.

The following operating systems are supported:
Win95, Win98, WinME, WinNT, Win2000, WinXP, Win2003, Win64.


http://www.fastcode.dk/fastcodeproject/fastcodeproject/34.htm

IMHO - We should stick to those rules.

Perhaps we should remove Win95 and add Vista when it is released?

Regarding processors: This list is to short

Processors:
Northwood
Presler
Dothan
Yohan
Athlon XP
Athlon 64x2
Core Duo

And Cyrix/Via ?

You have forgot one of our target CPU's - AMD 64.

Yonah is a Core Duo.

What about?

Pentium, Pentium MMX, Pentium Pro, K5, K6, Athlon, Pentium 2, Pentium 3,
Prescott, Banias, Smithfield, Core Duo 2 etc, Cedarmill, Xeon, Athlon 64.

We should support "all" processors, but need to find a reasonable subset to
validate upon.

We need a Pentium to validate that IA32 functions do not use anything but
IA32. Then we need a Pentium Pro to validate that IA32ext functions only use
IA32 and IA32ext instructions. Then we need a P2 to validate that MMX
functions do not use SSE, SSE2 or SSE3. Then se need P3 ....... Then we need
P4 Northwood, Then we need Prescott/Yonah/AMD64 X2 for SSE3 function
validation.
What about all the 3DNow instructions? We are currently ignoring them
totally.

We have a lot of work to do ;-)

Best regards
Dennis Kjaer Christensen
