Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC): AArch64 Options
gcc.gnu.orgGCC uses nameto determine what kind of instructions it can emit when generating assembly code (as if by -march) and to determine the target processor for which to tune for performance (as if by -mtune). Where this option is used in conjunction

It is more complicated than I thought: -mtune, -march in GCC
lemire.me25/7/2018 · For example, if GCC is configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu then -mtune=pentium4 generates code that is tuned for Pentium 4 but still runs on i686 machines. By default, when unspecified, “-mtune=generic” applies which means that the compiler will “produce code optimized for the most common processors”.

gcc – How does mtune actually work? – Stack Overflow
stackoverflow.comHowever, the existing answers don’t go much further than the GCC manual itself. At most, we get: If you use -mtune, then the compiler will generate code that works on any of them, but will favour instruction sequences that run fastest on the specific CPU you indicated.

Using the GNU C/C++ compiler on AIX – IBM Developer
developer.ibm.com12/8/2008 · The GCC compiler is a part of the Free Software Foundation’s GNU Project. GCC is developed through an open source environment, as are all the GNU tools, and it supports many platforms including AIX. GCC stands for GNU Compiler Collection, and supports many languages such as C, C++, Objective C, Fortran, and Java.

Safe CFLAGS – Gentoo Wiki
wiki.gentoo.orgIn some cases – if you have unknown to GCC model – you will see suboptimal –mtune=generic (or even no –mtune?). You can select relevant –mtune= from manual. In some cases there are same to detected -march= or common –mtune=intel for (too) modern Intel CPUs. Also possible (???) suboptimal -march=native detection – full l2-cache-size to single CPU thread on multi-core CPUs. Currently it used …

gnu.orgThe GCC identifiers can be used as arguments to the -mcpu or –mtune options, for example: -mcpu=cortex-a77 or –mtune=cortex-m35p. Support has been extended for the ACLE data-processing intrinsics to include 32-bit SIMD, saturating arithmetic, 16-bit multiplication and other related intrinsics aimed at DSP algorithm optimization.

gcc – mtune – march haswell – Code Examples
code-examples.netGCC: mtune vs march vs mcpu (1) -mcpu unfortunately has different semantics for different targets. It’s deprecated for x86 (being a synonym for -mtune) but not for ARM, where it’s a sum of -march and -mtune. So to answer your question – on ARM, always use -mcpu for best performance, unless you care for backwards compatibility.

bbs.archlinux.org12/3/2009 · The default CFLAGS use -mtune=generic (read GCC docs for more info on march and mtune). For whatever reason, the old GCC doesn’t like generic. Try removing mtune and setting march to your CPU (e.g. march=pentium2). This is usually smart anyways for any compiling.
Gentoo Forums :: View topic – march vs mtune
forums.gentoo.org11/3/2014 · Hi, since I started using Gentoo (AFAIR I started when GCC 4.5.x was current; now I am using 4.8.2) I set march and mtune. ~2 years ago I read in the old Gentoo wiki in the hardware flags/CFlags articles, that it is recommended to set march=yourcpu but mtune=generic due to some problems with gcc. I am unable to find these articles again.

SPARC Optimizations With GCC – OSnews
osnews.com–mtune flags works as the -mcpu has typically been used on the x86 platform, by tuning code for a particular platform but not taking advantage of additional instructions. (It should be noted that the -mcpu flag has actually been deprecated on x86 GCC in favor of –mtune.) So while –mtune is the same on both x86 and SPARC (creates backward compatible tuned binaries), -mcpu creates CPU-specific …
