#sse2 — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #sse2, aggregated by home.social.

  1. #PaleMoon will be requiring #AVX support in CPUs for its official binaries starting from version 33.3.0, which can be expected to release on the second Tuesday of this August.

    For those still stuck with #SSE2 you will either have to upgrade your processor to something more recent (AVX support has been commonly available for 10 years now) or switch to a community build that still builds support for SSE2.

    EDIT: Oh and I forgot to mention too that this is only for 64-bit. 32-bit Windows binaries will still support SSE2 (there are not 32-bit only processors that supports AVX as far as I know anyway, and even if there are it would most likely result in worse performance due to how 32-bit x86 and AVX work)

  2. is a nibble based rANS coder.

    nibrans is an accelerated encoder and decoder for the rANS arithmetic coding format. rANS offers near-optimal data compression while having an adaptable frequency structure, unlike Huffman coding which uses a static structure. nibrans encode and decode data at a rate of up to 75-95 megabytes per second.
