Ruby Forum GHDL > performance differences between .25 and .27 etc.

I was wondering if there are any significant differences between .25 and
.26 or .27 in terms of performance differences.

Could a person wanting to have pre-compiled binaries for Solaris make do
with .25 and not grumble too much until .27 is successful on Solaris?

I've had that working for a short while now, but I would like to get .27
going on Solaris, and especially look forward to testing the
multi-threaded simulation kernel. That will totally rock on a
multi-processor or multi-core machine.

===

But in the mean time, how should I make my binaries available? I'd like 
to
put them up on the GHDL site itself if possible.

They are compiled for Solaris 8, and optimized to -O3 and for UltraSPARC
processors, and should run fine on newer Solaris releases as well.

Please let me know.

gdhl 0.26 should be faster than 0.25.
No optimizations have been added in 0.27

Sure.

You can send it privately to me.  I will put it on the ghdl web site.

Good and thanks,
