Pommier. They are for float only, and they return exactly the same
result as the standard versions in about 90% of the cases. Otherwise the max error
is below 1e-7. However, for very large values (>1e3) the accuracy of sin and cos
slighlty decrease. They are about 3 or 4 times faster than 4 calls to their respective
standard versions. So, is it ok to enable them by default in their respective functors ?
* use _mm_malloc/_mm_free on other platforms than linux of MSVC (eg., cygwin, OSX)
* replace a lot of inline keywords by EIGEN_STRONG_INLINE to compensate for
poor MSVC inlining
* bugfix in Dot unroller
* added special random generator for the unit tests and reduced the tolerance threshold by an order of magnitude
this fixes issues with sum.cpp but other tests still failed sometimes, this have to be carefully checked...
* faster matrix-matrix and matrix-vector products (especially for not aligned cases)
* faster tridiagonalization (make it using our matrix-vector impl.)
Others:
* fix Flags of Map
* split the test_product to two smaller ones
- conflicts with operator * overloads
- discard the use of ei_pdiv for interger
(g++ handles operators on __m128* types, this is why it worked)
- weird behavior of icc in fixed size Block() constructor complaining
the initializer of m_blockRows and m_blockCols were missing while
we are in fixed size (maybe this hide deeper problem since this is a
recent one, but icc gives only little feedback)
* Improve the efficiency of matrix*vector in unaligned cases
* Trivial fixes in the destructors of MatrixStorage
* Removed the matrixNorm in test/product.cpp (twice faster and
that assumed the matrix product was ok while checking that !!)
* rework PacketMath and DummyPacketMath, make these actual template
specializations instead of just overriding by non-template inline
functions
* introduce ei_ploadt and ei_pstoret, make use of them in Map and Matrix
* remove Matrix::map() methods, use Map constructors instead.
packet access, it is not certain that it will bring a performance
improvement: benchmarking needed.
* improve logic choosing slice vectorization.
* fix typo in SSE packet math, causing crash in unaligned case.
* fix bug in Product, causing crash in unaligned case.
* add TEST_SSE3 CMake option.
