Sinsi,

Thank you, exactly what I was looking for.

I slightly modified the source to avoid the too many separator lines.
Siekmanski is apparently new on the forum and not used to our "traditional"
way of doing tests.  :lol:

Compliments Siekmanski, you made a very good job.  :t

Waiting for our masters version, though.  :P

Attached the modified source.

i have a prescott that supports SSE3, Marinus
crashes at PSHUFB XMM0,XMM1   :P

87,665 cycles for the first test, though

You need an "S" more on your SSE level, otherwise no PSHUFB
for you.

Attached the program to test the correctness of destination data.

Code: [Select]

    mov     eax,[esi]
    and     eax,0FFFFFFh
AND is dependant on MOV being completed
it would help if you could put a "do something else" instruction in there
it would also help if 0FFFFFFh is in a register

Well, that's right, why don't you use the keyboard to do that?  :P

[Siekmanski]

It's not easy to understand someone elses code  :lol:
I made it work OK now and exchanged the in and output.

Grab the code I posted in previous post and test your code, something is
still buggy, as it appears by the output.

Added my routine with XMM/SSE instructions. It requires a SSSE3
capable machine.
