Small C multipliers might arise reasonably often from mpz_mul_ui etc. If the size C is odd there's roughly a 5 cycle penalty, so times for say size==7 and C size==8 end up being quite close. If src isn't aligned to an 8 byte C boundary then one limb is processed separately with roughly a 5 cycle C penalty, so in that case it's say size==8 and size==9 which are close. C C Alternatives: C C MMX is not believed to be of any use for 32-bit multipliers, since for C instance the current method would just have to be more or less duplicated C for the high and low halves of the multiplier, and would probably C therefore run at about 14 cycles, which is slower than the plain integer C at 12. C C Adding the high and low MMX products using integer code seems best. An C attempt at using paddd and carry bit propagation with pcmpgtd didn't give C any joy. Perhaps something could be done keeping the values signed and C thereby avoiding adjustments to make pcmpgtd into an unsigned compare, or C perhaps not. C C Future: C C An mpn_mul_1c entrypoint would need a double carry out of the low result C limb in the 16-bit code, unless it could be assumed the carry fits in 16 C bits, possibly as carry
