Making the iPhone go faster
We need things to go fast. Really fast. So when came across Ryan Block‘s old post about the iPhone’s vector floating-point coprocessor, I was encouraged. But how to access this new coprocessor? I was excited to find some examples on Matthias Grundmann and Wolfgang Engel‘s Google code project, vfpmathlibrary.
They’re just getting started and only have 4×4 matrix operations coded up so far. Hopefully we can collaborate with these guys to expand the library and do some performance testing on different applications. More to come on that.
