Optimized for the Alpha architecture: - memory accessed as aligned quadwords only - destination memory not read unless needed for good cache behaviour - basic blocks arranged to optimize branch prediction for full-quadword aligned memory blocks. - partial head and tail quadwords constructed with byte-mask instructions This is generally scheduled for the EV5 (got to look out for my own interests :-), but with EV4 needs in mind. There *should* be no more stalls for the EV4 than there are for the EV5. */ #include .set noat .set noreorder .text /* There is a problem with either gdb (as of 4.16) or gas (as of 2.7) that doesn't like putting the entry point for a procedure somewhere in the middle of the procedure descriptor.
