SSE/SSE2 Support in Visual Studio 2003

[Yusuf Motiwala]

Hi,

Has anyone evaluated Visual Studio 2003 SSE/SSE2 code generation in
terms of performance. As per Microsoft documentation, SSE/SSE2 is only
used in VS.Net 2003 for some floating point operations (and probably
not for vector operation).

Based on it, I doubt if it can offer any significant improvement
compare to other compilers like intel/vectorc wrt MMX/SSE/SSE2
instructions.

Can someone comment or share their experience with VS .Net 2003.

Regards,
Yusuf
