1) I want to know is neuron benefits from SSE instructions?
2) Is it possible to compile neuron with intel compilers in windows or linux?
Compiling NEURON
1) I suppose only if the compiler is a lot smarter than the ones
I use. Currently I am working full time on parallelization using
threads. When that is safe enough for general use, I hope to replace
much of the number crunching with blas routines. I would expect those
would make proper use of SSE.
2) Yes. Though I tried installing an intel compiler a few weeks ago
on my CENTOS x86_64 and was defeated by missing system libraries
with the require version number.
