30 Performance of
<span class=

31 on the platforms shown in the following table. Performance measurements were
32 taken using
<code class=

"identifier">rdtsc
</span></code> and
<code class=
"computeroutput"><span class=

</span><span class=

</span><span class=

</span><span class=

</span><span class=

</span></code>, with overhead corrections,
33 on x86 platforms. In each case, cache warm-up was accounted for, and the
34 one running thread was pinned to a single CPU. The code was compiled using
35 the build options, 'variant = release cxxflags = -DBOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS'.
