From ccfa865a82c648fde56864ea094f70ee1a8a944b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wilco Dijkstra Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2021 16:29:25 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] math: Improve hypot performance with FMA Improve hypot performance significantly by using fma when available. The fma version has twice the throughput of the previous version and 70% of the latency. The non-fma version has 30% higher throughput and 10% higher latency. Max ULP error is 0.949 with fma and 0.792 without fma. Passes GLIBC testsuite. --- sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_hypot.c | 17 ++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_hypot.c b/sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_hypot.c index 75bce2df4e..6fedf0d61f 100644 --- a/sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_hypot.c +++ b/sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_hypot.c @@ -26,7 +26,11 @@ rounding mode. - Handle required underflow exception for subnormal results. - The expected ULP is ~0.792. + The expected ULP is ~0.792 or ~0.948 if FMA is used.
