Hi Greg,
Thanks for the benchmark app, thought I'd pitch in with some ppc
results:
> clz 1.530s
> lookup table 1.720s
> float hack 4.424s
> unrolled 5.280s
> normal 5.369s
POWER5+: clz 2.046s lookup table 2.188s float hack 7.786s unrolled 6.353s
normal 7.033s
POWER6: clz 1.063s lookup table 1.199s float hack 3.575s unrolled 2.290s
normal 3.456s
Cheers,
Jeremy
