Vector Numerics, Inc. Custom Programming Order Form
A custom programming order form appears on below. If you have
a C function that is very important to you, we can apply our
proprietary techniques to optimize it for you. The
resulting .ASM version may run about as fast, twice as fast,
even, in rare cases, four times as fast as the original.
When you send in a function to us, there is a fixed rate for
an evaluation of how worthwhile it would be to convert the
function, and an estimate of how long it will take. We will
then finish the job at the hourly rate if you want to go
ahead with it.
Before sending in a function, the following guidelines will
help you determine if it may be worthwhile, and help us keep
your costs down if we do convert it.
1. Use all the VectorPro functions you can first.
2. Keep I/O operations out of your calculation functions.
3. Provide a test program that feeds a complete set of test
cases to your function, and outputs, preferably to a disk
file, any results that are out of tolerance.
4. Provide a .BAT file to compile and link the program, along
with any required .OBJ files and test data files.
5. Some types of calculations are more likely to be helped
than others. A list of assignment statements is unlikely to
be helped, unless there are many common factors or repeated
function calls. Looping through an array may be helped if the
procedure is more complex than a simple loop that just hits
each element once. For example, multiplying a matrix by a
scalar cannot be helped much, but matrix multiplication can
be.
6. Keep the part you really need optimized in as small a
function as possible, or at least clearly point it out to us
in a listing or in comments.
