Compiling in SSE3

  • ACME     11th Nov 2010 Member 0 Permalink
    Could someone please tell me how I can compile in SSE3 format. I relize that Visual Studio only supports sse and sse2. could someone please tell me a good C++ compiler that supports SSE3 so that I can make my mods faster. (I downloaded Intel(R) C++ Compiler 10.1 but I dont know the serial code to complete the installation. Nothing on the internet has shown what it is.)

    Yes. Compile with MinGW.

    AFAIK GCC can handle everything up to SSE4.2

    AVX will be interesting, might give very significant performance increases.
