Log10

Function Log10

The Log10 function computes a denary logarithm.

Performance:

	Default processor	Pentium® III processor	Pentium® 4 processor	Itanium® processor
vsLog10 (HA version)	20.8	20.9	20.1	7.2
vdLog10 (HA version)	35.1	37.5	32.3	11.4

Notes:
1) Units - CPE (Clocks per Element)
2) Performance was measured on "working" interval (double precision: [3e-308,1e+308]; single precision: [0.1,10000])
3) Data - vectors of 1000 elements with random generated numbers
4) "Default" means X87 code for all IA-32 processors
5) Performance of "default" version was measured on Pentium® III processor

Notes:
1) *        X87 code for all processors
2) **      Pentium® III processor
3) ***    Pentium® 4 processor
4) **** Itanium® processor
5) Logarithmic scale is used for "Vectors Size" axis

Maximal observed error for the whole function domain:

	Default processor	Pentium® III processor	Pentium® 4 processor	Itanium® processor
vsLog10 (HA version)	0.70	0.70	0.51	0.51
vdLog10 (HA version)	0.93	0.93	0.55	0.51

Notes:
1) Units - ulp (units in the last place)
