minus-square@farcaster@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilink1•2 months agoI doubt doing it in software like that outperforms sqrtss/sqrtsd. Modern CPUs can do the conversions and the floating point sqrt in approximately 20-30 cycles total. That’s comparable to one integer division. But I wouldn’t mind being proven wrong.
