There is no need to change anything in software to take advantage of wider path (128bit) in FP unit, if that's what you are referring to. There are some gotchas such as data alignment (though I think CR 6525798 addressed this) and dependencies but in general you will get performance boost without need to recompile. -boris _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
