Available Packages
Name : libdivide-devel
Version : 5.0
Release : 6.el8
Architecture : x86_64
Size : 39 k
Source : libdivide-5.0-6.el8.src.rpm
Repository : epel
Summary : Development files for libdivide
URL : https://libdivide.com/
License : zlib or Boost
Description : This package contains a header-only C/C++ library for optimizing integer
: division. Integer division is one of the slowest instructions on most CPUs,
: e.g. on current x64 CPUs a 64-bit integer division has a latency of up to 90
: clock cycles whereas a multiplication has a latency of only 3 clock cycles.
: libdivide allows you to replace expensive integer divsion instructions by a
: sequence of shift, add and multiply instructions that will calculate the
: integer division much faster.
:
: On current CPUs you can get a speedup of up to 10x for 64-bit integer division
: and a speedup of up to to 5x for 32-bit integer division when using libdivide.
: libdivide also supports SSE2, AVX2 and AVX512 vector division which provides an
: even larger speedup.
