Another interesting observation is if I substitute their genome based test dataset for the one we commonly use (the large Silesia test corpus), we start winning a few benchmarks for...

Honestly I think the testing methodology in calling through python's interfaces is perhaps flawed as well but I can't really assess that fairly without understanding the user's actual use case....

The same way you make any project use zlib-ng in place of zlib: https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng#install

Yes. Then again my isa-l was provided by the distro, so it could have been a version or two behind. As far as I'm aware ISA-L does leverage (v)pclmulqdq in...

If there is a particular issue you maybe want me to test or explore, I do have an UltraSPARC T4 with Solaris 11.2 (or maybe it was 3) that I...

FWIW gtests pass with flying colors on OpenIndiana on an ancient Sun Fire V240. Though, the symbol versioning doesn't quite seem to be supported with those arguments to the linker,...

So a somewhat interesting revelation, tests are passing but when I build with -mcpu=native, I do get segfaults. But to my surprise, the segfaults are in the benchmark library with...

And of course using umem as the allocator to find an issue it fails to cause any at all. _Could_ be an issue in glibc's allocator while on SPARC?

This is running on a sun4v, I doubt we're seeing an illegal instruction. The sparcv9 abi hasn't moved a ton, and it's certainly not generating VIS (which is what I...
