[Opensim-dev] [opensim-dev] LLVM with mono

[Fly Man]

Yes, I have tested this out. It seems that memory management is better
in the LLVM but a region server doesn't go any faster with or without
it

> This is a new and experimental feature in Mono. It is now possible to
> compile Mono to use the LLVM code generation engine as an optimizing
> compiler for Mono.
>
> When enabled, LLVM will be used for most code instead of Mono's Just in Time
> compiler (there are a few pieces that are not yet supported by LLVM and in
> those cases Mono will fallback to its internal engine).

> Keep in mind that using LLVM has an impact on JIT performance, so this is
> not recommended for desktop scenarios where startup speed is important. LLVM
> should be used only for long-running applications or applications where
> long-term computational speed is more important than startup speed.

> The SciMark score on Mono goes from 482 to 610.

> Due to problems with autotools on windows, the llvm support is currently
> commented out. It can be enabled by applying this patch, and passing
> --enable-llvm=yes to configure.
