-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A little while ago I took on a redesign of the handling of vectors in the vvp run-time. For those of you in the know, the idea is to replace the flat thread vector space with a vector stack. The intent is to remove some vector length constraints and to allow for some theoretical performance improvements. That work is in the vec4-stack branch. Almost all of the regression test now works with the new branch and I want to start building up confidence in it by putting it out there for the more daring of you to try out. The intent is that version perform better then the existing style, but those performance benefits are almost surely not realized yet. I will be doing some profiling soon and really tackling execution times, but if you have any feedback there, that would be good, too. Right now, however, I'm mostly interested in quality of the results. Did I introduce any new bugs? There are a very few that I see in the ivtest results, but I would like to hear about any new bugs.
