#Faster math
8 messages in this thread
Hi all,
I just wanted to tell everyone to go and take a look at a nifty little
program called FMATH.LHA here on CIS. It's absolutely great if you have
math intensive applications and a fast processor like a 68040 or a math
copro like 68882.
This FMATH.LHA contains replacements for your math libraries, which are
significantly faster and smaller than the original libs. I'm always wary
of such programs because the machine usually gets much less stable and the
speed increase is almost zero, but this is the exception to that rule!
The author also included small benchmarks, here are the totals for my
68040 at 33 MHz…
Using C= math libs Using FMATH libs
mathdoubtranstest approx. 88 seconds approx. 46 seconds
mathsingtranstest approx. 66 seconds approx. 45 seconds
mathtranstest approx. 102 seconds approx. 53 seconds
I think the numbers speak for themselves. Get it!

It sounds great… but could you be more specific where to find FMATH (forum,
section).
thanks, Edgar

Thanks!
I'm going to check it out.

I'm Game if it speeds rendering, I cant find it though as FMATH.LHA

Where is this FMATH.LHA you referred to, CIM says file not found???
Help
FMATH.LHA can be found in Amigatech in the libraries section. You may also
look for various programs written by Arthur Hagen. They are amazing little gems
that will produce a real improvement in system performance without using much
memory.
