Hi,
I compiled POV-Ray with gcc 2.96 including the following flags for Pentium
optimisation as I found in the standard Makefile for POV-Ray:
CFLAGS
= -O6 -finline-functions -ffast-math -c -ansi -m386 -DCPU=686 -DCOMPILER_VER
=\".`uname`.$(CC)\" -DPOV_LIB_DIR=\"$(POVLIBDIR)\" $(SRCINC) $(LIBPNGINC)
$(ZLIBINC)
mixed with optimisations suggested at the athlonlinux.org page:
CFLAGS
= -s -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -mpentiumpro -march=pentiumpro -malign-f
unctions=4 -funroll-loops -fexpensive-optimizations -malign-double -fschedul
e-insns2
the result was:
CFLAGS
= -s -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -mpentiumpro -march=pentiumpro -malign-f
unctions=4 -funroll-loops -fexpensive-optimizations -malign-double -fschedul
e-insns2 -finline-functions -ffast-math -c -ansi -DCPU=686 -DCOMPILER_VER=\"
.`uname`.$(CC)\" -DPOV_LIB_DIR=\"$(POVLIBDIR)\" $(SRCINC) $(LIBPNGINC)
$(ZLIBINC)
After the compiling the render time for a scene decreased from 7 hours with
the standard POV-Ray binary to 6 hours with my own compiled version. I think
and optimisation things. Maybe there are further optimisation flags for the
Athlon, maybe not.
Is anyone out there who has done an optimised compile for the Athlon too?
Could you share your experience?
Thanks,
Bonsai

Probably not in the current gcc.
Wait for gcc 3. That may have.

Why wait, grab a snapshot :)

gcc 2.96 has Athlon-specific compiler flags -DCPU=athlon and -march=athlon
however I'm not entirely sure whether they do anything useful at the time,
or whether they are just placeholders for future versions.
Try it yourself and find out.
