Linux (64 bit) command line program with AVX instructions

[Gunther]

This is the corresponding application to that thread: http://masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=795.0. The program has the same functionality; the timings are very similar, because it's the same machine: Intel Core i7-3770, 3.4 GHz.

Supported by Processor and installed Operating System:
------------------------------------------------------

     MMX, CMOV and FCOMI, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1,
     POPCNT, SSE4.2, AVX, PCLMUL and AES

Calculating the sum of a float array with different methods.
That'll take a little while. Please be patient ...

Simple C implementation:
------------------------
sum1              = 8390656.00
Elapsed Time      = 15.74 Seconds

FPU code with 4 accumulators:
-----------------------------
sum2              = 8390656.00
Elapsed Time      = 7.02 Seconds
Performance Boost = 224%

C implementation with 4 accumulators:
-------------------------------------
sum3              = 8390656.00
Elapsed Time      = 5.34 Seconds
Performance Boost = 295%

SSE2 code with 4 accumulators:
------------------------------
sum4              = 8390656.00
Elapsed Time      = 1.34 Seconds
Performance Boost = 1175%

AVX code with 4 accumulators:
-----------------------------
sum5              = 8390656.00
Elapsed Time      = 0.69 Seconds
Performance Boost = 2281%


Feedback would be okay.
