Keywords: 80x87, 8087, 80287 80387, math processor, intel Message-ID: <774@ambush.UUCP> Date: 1 Jun 88 10:55:46 GMT Organization: AmbraSoft A/S (Denmark) Lines: 19 Don't think - or else you end like me asking questions! And my next question is: Which routine is the fastest when you have a 80x87? a) a := 22/7; b) a := 22/7 a := a + 1; b := 0; b := 0; for c := 1 to 1000 do for c := 1 to 1000 do b := b + c; b := b + c; a := a + 1 It depends of the implementation of course, but does anybody out there know a compiler/library that make b) faster than a) because it dosn't wait for the calculation of the variabel a to finish before it has to use it (a := a + 1)?
