SSE intrinsics: Extracting floats from __m128
|
Hi,
I am mucking about with some SSE code at the moment and I'm a little confuzed about unpacking 4 packed floats from __m128's.
Originally, I used the union trick (or one of the variants that use structs instead of an array of floats):

Clojure game development wiki

Hi everyone,
I am setting up a wiki for game development in Clojure (and in the future, perhaps other functional languages). There isn't a lot of content there yet - I hope to fill the site out a bit more over Christmas - but I have tried to colle... |

Soundcards and HRTF

Can anyone recommend a sound card with good hardware accelerated HRTF capabilities?
I need as good 3D sound localization as possible, in real time and I figured the simplest way to achieve this is with the aid of hardware HRTF. I am using FMOD for t... |

Geforce 7600GT vs Geforce 8400GS
|
I'm currently using a Geforce 7600GT in my desktop at home (which I use for gaming and gamedev) and have been offered a Geforce 8400GS in work. Since the 8400 is a DirectX 10 card, I'm considering using that instead, but I don't know how it compares... |

Need help with C++ pooled memory management

In my game I have certain objects which get allocated and deallocated quite often, so instead of using plain new X/delete X, I would like to preallocate these objects and reuse the memory.
My question is about placement new and memory alignment.

Mostly, I use C++, Python and Clojure. I use QtCreator for C++ (on both Windows and Linux), even if the project does not use Qt. For Python, I usually use Geany and for Clojure (and everything else, really), I use Vim.

SSE intrinsics: Extracting floats from __m128
|
Thanks for the replies! Thats cleared it up.
I don't expect to need to access the elements individually very often. Outside of my SSE code, I would usually want to store all 4 floats at once, eg, to pass to OpenGL or something like that. |

SSE intrinsics: Extracting floats from __m128

You're right. It is not that common of an operation and storing all four at once will work perfectly well for most cases. I mean, if the code reads and writes single elements a lot, then its probably gaining nothing from SSE.
Having said tha... |

In short; forget about threads.

What do you thread?

Besides splitting certain things into their own threads, if you are using C++, Intels Threading Building Blocks will help you to process things in parallel like frob is suggesting. |

Antheus, I completely agree. My point is that languages, libraries and APIs exist but multicore programming is still hard (certainly much harder than sequential programming) and I think that this is mostly[1] an education problem.
