Hi Michihiro,

this looks good to me. We should be able to test it since it is for Power8. Maybe Gustavo would like to test in addition.

Best regards,

Martin

Subject: RFR: 8215262: PPC64: FMA Vectorization on PPC64

Dear all,

Would you please review the following change?
This change supports FMA vectorization on PPC64.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8215262
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mhorie/8215262/webrev.00/

Microbenchmark I used is http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mhorie/8215262/VFma.java
It showed ~50% reduction in the execution time.

I also tested with JTREG and there was no difference in the results compared to the original.


Best regards,
