Usage of Enhanced Math Library for better performance #454

Open Srihari-mcw opened 1 year ago

Hi,

While we were analyzing the POVRAY application, we saw extensive usage of the math functions from cmath library. We were looking at options for speed up the math functions for better performance and one such library that we came across was AOCL-Libm. Due to the extensive usage of math functions, using a better alternative math library could potentially speed up the application in general. Could you kindly share your thoughts on the same, thanks
