- Subject: Performance optimizations for Intel Core 2 and Core i7 processors
CodeSourcery is working on improving performance for Intel's Core 2 and
Core i7 families of processors.
CodeSourcery plans to add support for unaligned vector instructions, to
provide fine-tuned scheduling support and to update instruction
selection and instruction cost models for Core i7 and Core 2 families of
processors.
As usual, CodeSourcery will be contributing its work to GCC. Currently,
our target is the end of GCC 4.6 Stage1.
If your favorite benchmark significantly under-performs on Core 2 or
Core i7 CPUs, don't hesitate asking us to take a look at it.
We appreciate Intel sponsoring this project.
Thank you,
