Now let's try compile and benchmark it: | |
$ icc -v | |
icc version 13.0.0 (gcc version 4.6.0 compatibility) | |
Let's try without AVX set (just up to SSE4.2): | |
$ icc -march=corei7 test.c -lm && time ./a.out | |
r=171828183.102 | |
real 0m1.031s | |
user 0m1.024s | |
sys 0m0.004s | |
Now let's try with AVX... ooops exp is 7x slower! | |
$ icc -march=corei7-avx test.c -lm && time ./a.out | |
r=171828183.102 | |
real 0m7.019s | |
user 0m7.012s | |
sys 0m0.000s | |
Now let's try with older Intel compiler, so we are sure it isn't new: | |
$ /opt/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1/bin/icc -v | |
icc version 12.1.3 (gcc version 4.6.0 compatibility) | |
$ /opt/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1/bin/icc -march=corei7 test.c -lm && time ./a.out | |
r=171828183.102 | |
real 0m1.050s | |
user 0m1.048s | |
sys 0m0.000s | |
$ /opt/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1/bin/icc -march=corei7-avx test.c -lm && time ./a.out | |
r=171828183.102 | |
real 0m7.067s | |
user 0m7.064s | |
sys 0m0.000s | |
