Dead?
Steve,
I don't consider MandFXP to be in any way 'brute force'. The algorithms used
are carefully thought out and a great many insights have been applied to the
problem. I would be willing to bet that any algorithm using standard
floating point (FFP or IEEE) would not be faster than the integer math used in
MandFXP. Just because something is coded in assembler, or because the floating
point functions have been replaced by faster and more accurate equivalents does
not make it 'brute force'.
