Hi,
I`m planning to install a dualboot Solaris-Gentoo on a Blade 100 after the exams, starting from a stage 1.
I was wondering if the VIS-capabilities of the UltraSparc IIe-processor were used for optimization, like SSE or 3dnow are on x86 ... I`m especially wondering if, to use VIS, you have to specify it in your cflags, or if it`s implied by -mcpu=ultrasparc and/or -mtune=ultrasparc ?
Thx in advance, and soz if this is a dumb question _________________ I never think of the future - it comes soon enough. (Albert Einstein) |
