Hi,
does anybody know whether Sun's java vm makes uses of Intel's
IPP-library? I do not know anything about vm-technology but i could
imagine the jit-compiler to detect code snippets which are equal in sense
of the result with the return-value of a ipp-function.
For sure such an approach makes sense only on intel-machines, so for amd
or whatever machines a kind of fallback solution would be required. Using
Athols&friends a simiar approach might be based on some libraries
provided by AMD.
If Suns VM does not do so, are there other VMs which do somthing similar?
Best regards,
Holger
