- using FMA and AVX instructions if available to speed-up
Exp calculation on amd64
- using a data table instead of #define'ed constants because
these instructions do not support loading floating point immediates.
One has to use a memory operand / register.
- Benchmark results on Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz:
Original vs New (non-FMA path)
name old time/op new time/op delta
Exp 16.0ns ± 1% 16.1ns ± 3% ~ (p=0.308 n=9+10)
Original vs New (FMA path)
name old time/op new time/op delta
Exp 16.0ns ± 1% 13.7ns ± 2% -14.80% (p=0.000 n=9+10)
