[OLPC-devel] compiler optimizations for the geode

[Christopher Blizzard]

Looks like Vladimir, one of our GCC hackers, has been working on Geode 
optimizations for GCC in his spare time.

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-08/msg00452.html

Sounds like he's made some progress.  I think that Jakub will be 
attempting to integrate the changes into our main compiler line for FC6. 
  Assuming that he doesn't run into any problems we should have packages 
in a couple of days to test with.

He says:

"If somebody is interesting in GEODE processor, you can find 
documentation on AMD website (unfortunately, it is not
enough detailed to do tunning)."

Anyone from AMD want to give him a helping hand?
