solaris 2.5.1 usparc 167mhz?? - SC4.0 cc -fast -Xa -xO5
For the ultra sparc, SunC 4.0 cc -fast -Xa -xO5, running 'des_opts'
gives a speed of 475,000 des/s while 'speed' gives 417,000 des/s.
I belive the difference is tied up in optimisation that the compiler
is able to perform when the code is 'inlined'. For 'speed', the DES
routines are being linked from a library. I'll record the higher
speed since if performance is everything, you can always inline
'des_enc.c'.
[ 16-Jan-06 - I've been playing with the
'-xtarget=ultra -xarch=v8plus -Xa -xO5 -Xa'
and while it makes the des_opts numbers much slower, it makes the
actual 'speed' numbers look better which is a realistic version of
using the libraries. ]
