Hi Folks,
The following patch adds an AVX implementation of the RAID5 xor checksumming
functions.
This version differs from version 0, in that it:
0) checks whether assembler supports AVX
1) replaces __attribute__(aligned(32)) with __aligned(32)
2) adds do/while(0); to macro blocks
Based on xor_speed, the AVX implementation appears to be ~32% faster than the
SSE implementation on my i7 2600:
generic_sse: 15088.000 MB/sec
avx: 19936.000 MB/sec
Thanks.
