I have just updated the FLAC 1.3.0 compiles based upon the ICL 13.0 compiler. On my development system (a 3770k system), these are about 10% faster than the ICL 12.1 compiles were. Other peoples experiences would be interesting.
Cheers Here are the results of the updated binaries, using foobar2000 as a front-end. The same WAV file was encoded thrice:
32-bit
Total encoding time: 0:13.766, 253.82x realtime
…
Total encoding time: 0:13.859, 252.12x realtime
…
Total encoding time: 0:13.719, 254.69x realtime
64-bit
Total encoding time: 0:16.141, 216.48x realtime
…
Total encoding time: 0:16.828, 207.64x realtime
…
Total encoding time: 0:16.047, 217.74x realtime
Weird! Nonetheless, it's heartening to see others are getting better results, more in line with what can be expected.
Thanks for the new compiles, John. You're a legend, and your work is deeply appreciated
