Just released Revision 4.1.2.

Added "mem_tofile" routine to allow memory content to be saved to a new file.

Just make sure you the "new file" name doesn't resemble any of your current files.

Enjoy.

Revision 4.1.5 Release. (November 21, 2018)

[1] Added prnymmr/dumpymmr, prnxmmr/dumpxmmr, prnmmxr/dumpmmxr. The reversed versions of the same routines, so that the SSE / AVX data appear as they are declared in you data sections. Useful for matrix and matrix transposition works.

Revision 4.1.6 is out (December 3rd, 2018).

Major overhauls to all MMX/SSE/AVX viewing routines. They are now fully-featured so you can deal with MMX/SSE/AVX instructions up to byte granularity.

Use them for good purposes.

Just added "fpuset.zip" to the main distribution. Useful for almost all kind of floating-point purposes. This is all you need if you want to deal with FPU, MMX, SSE and AVX operations. It supports up to byte vector operations. Win64 only.

Also a small bug-fix to CPULIB (prnxmm/prnxmmr) affecting "cpu64w" (source and binary). BASELIB are not affected. Revision stays at 4.1.6.

See you next year.

A number of users have requested for full ABI64-compliant versions of CPULIB. So for my weekend project, I modified CPULIB, plus other additions and deprecations, to come up with CPU2.0.

So starting from next year, I will be providing long-term support for CPU2.0 only. Sorry at this time, it comes in binaries only. No source. And this version offers no 32-bit variants. Use CPULIB / BASELIB for 32-bit variants.

This is CPU2.0 Revision 1.0.1 (First revision)

Added 24 new array-display routines, offering both forward (little-endian) and reversed views. These new routines are now used in all XMM/YMM/MMX viewing routines.

timer_start now return in XMM0 instead of RAX. Now after calling timer_stop(), you can view the time difference as double type via prndbl function.

CPU2.0 Revision 1.0.4
[1] Added formatted versions of dumpymm/dummxmm/dumpmmx, for both forward and reversed variants.
[2] Added some more "aprnxxxx" array routines to support formatted versions of [1]
[3] Added prnhexbf, prnintdf, prnintwf, prnintuf,prnintf, prndblf and prnfltf to support [1] and [2]
[4] Fixed a small bug in 64-bit Linux version of "dumpxmm".
[5] Dropped "fpuset" library from circulation. All functions have been transferred to CPU2.0
