So where does Mono 2.2 fit with OpenSim, is that version now supported by the recent OpenSim commits?<br><br>Just wondering if I can use C# 3.0 syntax elements in it.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 12:35 PM, Eugen Leitl <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eugen@leitl.org">eugen@leitl.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Mono's new engine generates much better code than the version found in Mono 2.0.<br>
<br>
Speed: The engine will mostly benefit computationally intensive code, usually between 10% and 30% performance increase, with some cases going up as high as being 50% faster.<br>
<br>
Code size: the new engine generates slimmer code, typically 12% to 20% smaller code generated.<br>
<br>
Check out some of the benchmark results.<br>

SIMD<br>
<br>
Using SIMD for accelerating certain floating point operations had been in the back of our minds for a while. We looked into implementing that in our old engine, but that turned out to be very difficult.<br>
<br>
With the new engine, Rodrigo was able to put together a prototype in a weekend (the legend goes that Rodrigo's wife was busy that weekend).<br>
<br>
This prototype was later turned into Mono.SIMD an API for accelerating vector operations.<br>
<br>
Mono 2.2 is the first release to officially support and distribute it. To learn more about Mono.SIMD support, you can see this blog entry.<br>
