The goal is a 15% speed improvement in EEMBC relative to FSF GCC 4.5.0
Does this mean to improve a single benchmark from EEMBC by 15%? Do you have an EEMBC? I have a very old version, without DENBench, which looks interesting according to EEMBC's site. Other than that TeleBench and Consumer might have vectorization potential.
I don't think this is well defined, so, I guess that means we get to twist it any way we like. ;)
Seriously though, I would argue that it should be 15% on average, across all the EEMBC tests, or at least across all the tests where vectorization makes sense.
The exact "15%" figure is not based on any hard facts, so we don't need to get too precise about it.
