Can’t resist sharing this one ;-)
With a fairly small code change (see https://svnweb.cern.ch/trac/lhcb/changeset/175997)
which does some explicit vectorisation using the gcc vector extension, I’ve been able
to get the overall HLT to run 3% faster (according to valgrind). Not bad for 2 days of work ;-)
(now, if only I could get 3% of the investment money in the event filter farm payed out to me,
I could go on vacation for the remainder of the year)
