What is the same: multiplication vs addition or TLS vs atomics? Also, the link you sent was about …
It depends, often it is exactly the same. MULPS: ADDPS:
I was asking out of curiosity. AFAIK, multiplication takes more cycles than addition. I know they'…
It does not matter which one is slower. You use them in different situations so they will affect p…
