Blog post by Scott D.: Small Integers: Big Penalty

[Paul Menzel]

Dear coreboot folks,

in the IRC channel #coreboot, Patrick linked to an interesting blog post
from Scott from 2012 with the title *Small Integers: Big Penalty* [1].

At least to me the results were unexpected.

Thanks,

Paul

Paul, very nice, thanks. It's not real surprising, actually, at least
in my old scientific computing world.

Since that is AMD code, maybe we can get the guys who wrote it to read
that nice book written by AMD :-)
