The Sqrt code previously used explicit constants for 2 and 1/2. This change replaces multiplication by these constants with increment and decrement of the floating point exponent directly. This improves performance by ~7-10% for small inputs and minimal improvement for large inputs. name old time/op new time/op delta FloatSqrt/64-4 1.39µs ± 0% 1.29µs ± 3% -7.01% (p=0.016 n=4+5) FloatSqrt/128-4 2.84µs ± 0% 2.60µs ± 1% -8.33% (p=0.008 n=5+5) FloatSqrt/256-4 3.24µs ± 1% 2.91µs ± 2% -10.00% (p=0.008 n=5+5) FloatSqrt/1000-4 7.42µs ± 1% 6.74µs ± 0% -9.16% (p=0.008 n=5+5) FloatSqrt/10000-4 65.9µs ± 1% 65.3µs ± 4% ~ (p=0.310 n=5+5) FloatSqrt/100000-4 1.57ms ± 8% 1.52ms ± 1% ~ (p=0.111 n=5+4) FloatSqrt/1000000-4 127ms ± 1% 126ms ± 1% ~ (p=0.690 n=5+5) Change-Id: Id81ac842a9d64981e001c4ca3ff129eebd227593 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/130835Reviewed-by: Robert Griesemer <gri@golang.org>
