Example 4:
Replace Branches with Computation in 3DNow!™ Code
C code:
#define PI 3.14159265358979323
float x,z,r,res;
/* 0 <= r <= PI/4 */
z = abs(x)
if (z < 1) {
res = r;
}
else {
res = PI/2-r;
}
3DNow! code:
;in: MM0 = x
; MM1 = r
;out: MM1 = res
MOVQ MM5, mabs
MOVQ MM6, one
PAND MM0, MM5
PCMPGTD MM6, MM0
MOVQ MM4, pio2
PFSUB MM4, MM1
PANDN MM6, MM4
PFMAX MM1, MM6
