Hi All, I've released a new patch for GMP on Core 2 machines. The patch works for Linux and Mac OS X (and probably other Unix type systems that run on Core 2 machines, but I haven't tested them). The patch includes an installation script which detects the processor type and will only install if it finds a Core 2 processor (so hopefully it will be easy to include in build scripts).
The patch is available on my web page: http://www.math.jmu.edu/~martin I've gotten GMPbench scores of 8263 with it on my 2.66GHz Mac Pro (Xeon/Woodcrest cores), which means that with this patch the new Intel chips are actually comparable to AMD cpus for computational number theory. If you use it, let me know how it works for you. If you need stuff added to make it useful, please let me know. Thanks, jason ----------------------------------------------------------- Jason Worth Martin Asst.
