Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Gregory Smith (gregsmith) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: long int bitwise ops speedup (patch included) Initial Comment: The 'inner loop' for applying bitwise ops to longs is quite inefficient. The improvement in the attached diff is - 'a' is never shorter than 'b' (result: only test 1 loop index condition instead of 3) - each operation ( & | ^ ) has its own loop, instead of switch inside loop - I found that, when this is done, a lot of things can be simplified, resulting in further speedup, and the resulting code is not very much longer than before (my libpython2.4.dll .text got 140 bytes longer). Operations on longs of a few thousand bits appear to be 2 ... 2.5 times faster with this patch. I'm not 100% sure the code is right, but it passes test_long.py, anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1087418&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
