Subject: Update to cube root benchmark code
Hi Stephen,
Thanks for this code, it's easy to experiment with it.
Let me propose this simple update with a variation on your ncubic() function.
I noticed that all intermediate results were far below 32 bits, so I did a
new version which is 30% faster on my athlon with the same results. This is
because we only use x and a/x^2 in the function, with x very close to cbrt(a).
So a/x^2 is very close to cbrt(a) which is at most 22 bits. So we only use
the 32 lower bits of the result of div64_64(), and all intermediate
computations can be done on 32 bits (including multiplies and divides).
willy@pcw:~$ ./bictcp
Calibrating
Function clocks mean(us) max(us) std(us) Avg error
bictcp 1085 0.70 28.19 2.30 0.172%
ocubic 869 0.56 22.76 1.23 0.274%
ncubic 637 0.41 16.29 1.41 0.247%
ncubic32 435 0.28 11.18 1.03 0.247%
acbrt 824 0.53 21.03 0.85 0.275%
hcbrt 547 0.35 13.96 0.42 1.580%
I also tried to improve a bit by checking for early convergence and
returning before last divide, but it is worthless because it almost
never happens so it does not make the code any faster.
Here's the code. I think that it would be fine if we merged this
version since it's supposed to behave better on most 32 bits machines.
Best regards,
Willy
