This project provides a build framework for TomsFastMath on Android.
|
||||
|
||||
Notes / TODO:
|
||||
|
||||
To use the faster ARM inline assembly, TFM_ARM must be defined at compile time. Unfortunately, is
|
||||
incompatible with the armeabi build target because some of the instructions are not supported. The
|
||||
Android SDK defines a few variables which may help with detection:
|
||||
|
||||
when compiled for armeabi-v7a:
|
||||
__thumb2__
|
||||
__ARM_ARCH_7A__
|
||||
when compiled for armeabi:
|
||||
__SOFTFP__
|
||||
|
||||
For now, the armeabi target will use the unoptimized C code. TFM_ARM is conditionally defined
|
||||
for the armeabi-v7a target.
|
||||
|
||||
Build instructions:
|
||||
|
||||
(1) Clone this git repository to your project's JNI directory, naming the directory "tfm".
|
||||
(2) Modify your JNI root's Android.mk and Application.mk using the files in this directory as a model.
|
||||
(3) Run ndk-build (available from the Android NDK); see Gingerbread's NDK docs for more.
|
||||
|
||||
Known bugs / issues:
|
||||
|
||||
* armeabi builds are known to produce binary code that is over three times larger than armeabi-v7a.
|
||||
This is probably due to either a bug in the Android NDK or limitations of the Thumb16 instruction set.
|
||||
|
||||
* NEON support can't really be turned on, because not all armeabi-v7a boards support it.
|
||||
After some trials, it appears that gcc can auto-vectorize some loops when NEON support is enabled
|
||||
and this leads to a performance increase. But doing so will cause the code to crash on phones
|
||||
where NEON isn't supported...
