Short: Faster FPU mathtrans.library v43.1b Author: Jess Sosnoski (at the below address!!!) Uploader: starblaz postoffice ptd net Type: util/boot Version: 43.1beta Requires: kick 2.x+, an 020+, and a 68881/2 FPU. Architecture: m68k-amigaos Long: TurboMathTrans FPU Library V43.1 (c) 1997 Jess Sosnoski FREEWARE -------- We like the freeware, the freeware is good. I like it, you like it!!! That's right, some support for the Amiga for *FREE* Inspired by fmath406 from aminet, here's an even faster FFP mathtrans.library for you all to enjoy :) It's not ultra-faster or anything, but it IS faster :) (every function call is at *LEAST* 12 clock cycles faster--or close to it) Just install it in libs over your old one. If you want to speedtest-compare this against the fmath406 version, download fmath406 from aminet (use their www search to find it), and the author has included a speedtester program for it. DISCLAIMER: ---------- Use this program at your own risk! I assume no responsibility or liability for problem(s) and/or damage(s) that occur by the use, modification, and/or existence of this product, and/or its parts in any form. 040/060 Notes: ------------- The 040/060 FPU doesn't have trig functions, this library isn't likely to make things faster on those CPU's...but, if you want to try, and you have a damn good cyberpatcher-like patcher, let me know what happens. This probably will be slower than the specifically designed 040/060 libs from fmath406.lha on Aminet. BUGS ---- The only function I'm not sure of is the SPPow function--someone test it and make sure it's giving the right results for: Raising real #'s to a power, raising negative #'s to an odd power. (let me know too :) ) HISTORY ------- 43.0 Internal test release, works pretty good, got almost 1/2 second faster results with the testprogram on some tests...I like it, you like it! (internal testers got to have fun with it too) 43.1 First Public Release. THANX TO: -------- Iain "ook" Barclay-optimization ideas, opatch, etc Adam "dc1" Polosnik-for library-ifying my code, without which this library would not exist. AND ADpatch Martin Berndt-for the fmath406 libraries :) Tom Gralinski-for the "I like it, you Like it" thing :) AUTHOR/UPDATES: --------------- starblaz@postoffice.ptd.net Updates will appear on my webpage before they appear in aminet's RECENT list. http://home.ptd.net/~starblaz If you feel the insatiable need to send cigarettes, money. praise, complaints, comments, ideas, A4060T's, etc.... I will be very happy :) Jess Sosnoski 651 Hillside Drive Mount Carmel, PA 17851-2463 USA
