Does KZIP favor any particular CPU architecture?
- Does KZIP favor any particular CPU architecture?
Is it floating point or integer intensive?
I have a motherboard that supports the ASUS CT-479 adapter for Pentium M CPUs and I was wondering if KZIP would run faster or slower on this CPU.
Also, just out of curiousity...
Does it require a Pentium or will it run on a 486?
Does it require/ take advantage of extensions like MMX? Does KZIP favor any particular CPU architecture?
Not really. It's mostly C code. I have not optimized it specifically for any architecture.Is it floating point or integer intensive?
I use floating point to find block boundaries, which happens during the initial pass. After that point, everything is integer.Does it require a Pentium or will it run on a 486?
It requires a Pentium due to my use of the RDTSC instruction.Does it require/ take advantage of extensions like MMX?
KZIP does not use MMX.
