71 Indeed, we should align it:
74 on 32 for 586, PPro - K6-III
75 on 64 for K7 (maybe for P3 too).
76 Because L1 and L2 caches are aligned on those values.
77 But I don't want to code such logic here!
80 Because some CPUs need alignment, for example SSE2 on P4, & most RISC CPUs
81 it will just trigger an exception and the unaligned load will be done in the
82 exception handler or it will just segfault (SSE2 on P4).
83 Why not larger? Because I did not see a difference in benchmarks ...
86 memalign(64)+1 3071,3051,3032
87 memalign(64)+2 3051,3032,3041
88 memalign(64)+4 2911,2896,2915
89 memalign(64)+8 2545,2554,2550
90 memalign(64)+16 2543,2572,2563
91 memalign(64)+32 2546,2545,2571
92 memalign(64)+64 2570,2533,2558
94 BTW, malloc seems to do 8-byte alignment by default here.
