MAC and SSE Optimized Dolphin Builds

[jgas]

Is it possible to compile mac builds optimized for sse?
How can someone do it? Is it easy to do?
Thank you for your answers

I have the same question.

[Squall Leonhart]

which level of SSE?

there is the Intel C++ Composer XE for Mac.

The default mac build should have SSE instructions given it has the -march core2 flag, which implies sse1/2/3/ssse3

[lamedude]

According to Wiki the GCC that comes with Xcode is 4.2.1 which does SSE3.

[jgas]

So, please let me understand: mac builds are already sse3 optimized?

[NaturalViolence]

Technically all dolphin builds are sse3 optimized since dolphin has some sse3 optimized code. The only difference with the "optimized builds" are that they are compiled with ICC and corresponding sse flags.

[jgas]

If I want to compile them with ICC and sse flags what should I do? Is there some tutorial to follow?

[NaturalViolence]

Use google.

They already are. That's what the march=core2duo flag does that in Sconstruct
