- Short: Faster FPU mathtrans.library v43.3b
- Author: Jess Sosnoski (at the below address!!!)
- Uploader: starblaz@postoffice.ptd.net
- Version: 43.3beta
- Type: util/libs
- Requires: kick 2.x+, an 020/030, and a 68881/2 FPU.
-
- Long:
-
-
- TurboMathTrans FPU Library V43.3
- (c) 1997 Jess Sosnoski
-
- FREEWARE
- --------
- We like the freeware, the freeware is good.
- I like it, you like it!!!
-
- That's right, some support for the Amiga for *FREE*
-
- Inspired by fmath406 from aminet, here's an even faster FFP mathtrans.library
- for you all to enjoy :)
-
- It's not ultra-faster or anything, but it IS faster :)
- (every function call is at *LEAST* 12+ clock cycles faster--or close to it)
-
- Just install it in libs over your old one.
-
- If you want to speedtest-compare this against the fmath406 version, download
- fmath406 from aminet (use their www search to find it), and the author
- has included a speedtester program for speedtesting various math libs.
-
- DISCLAIMER:
- ----------
- Use this program at your own risk!
- I assume no responsibility or liability for problem(s) and/or damage(s)
- that occur by the use, modification, and/or existence of this product,
- and/or its parts in any form.
-
- 040/060 Notes:
- -------------
- The 040/060 FPU doesn't have trig functions, therefore, will really slow
- down 040/060's pretty bad. I'd recommend downloading fmath406.lha from
- aminet and using the specifically designed 040/060 libraries in that archive.
-
- INSTALLATION
- ------------
- Copy it over your existing mathtrans.library in LIBS:
-
- BUGS
- ----
- The only function I'm not sure of is the SPPow function--someone test
- it and make sure it's giving the right results for:
- Raising real #'s to a power, raising negative #'s to an odd power.
- (let me know too :) )
-
- HISTORY
- -------
-
- 43.0 Internal test release, works pretty good, got almost 1/2 second faster
- results with the testprogram on some tests...I like it, you like it!
- (internal testers got to have fun with it too)
-
- 43.1 First Public Release.
-
- 43.2 OOPS! didn't rename the file to mathtrans.library, and didn't
- have the correct version in the versionstring--FIXED :)
- Added some stuff I forgot to this .readme
-
- 43.3 Jumptable changed, some code changed a bit by Dave Jones.
-
- THANX TO:
