Posted 19 Sep 2005 by ![]() Post: I'm still curious why setiathome is distributing a Visual C++ application if they already tried the intel compiler and saw the performance gain available to them. Or in other words: Why is the boinc manager not downloading an application matching the CPU it is running on? So he could optionally exploit sse3 or sse2 which yield quite a performance boost. |

Posted 19 Sep 2005 by ![]() Post: Have you ever read the optimized seti cruncher threads? ;) C++ code runs as fast as c-code if they both implement the same functionality the same way. C++ can translate C code. So if you want performance in C++ you may want to consider which features of C++ you're using and whether they are necessary. Using C you would have to implement these features by hand and they would rather be slower than if they are implemented by the C++ compiler. C++ code maybe faster as it is heavily using inlining of code, a technique not available to C programmers. |
