Wed Feb 22 03:45:04 PST 2012


From: Peter Meerwald <p.meerwald at bct-electronic.com>

v2: 
* load and store data with vld1/vld1q and vst1/vst1a, resp., to work
  around alignment issues of compiler-generated vldmia instruction
* remove redundant check for NEON flags

Ubuntu/Linaro gcc 4.6.1
arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-O2 -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=neon

runtime on beagle-xm, 800 MHz

checking NEON sconv_s16le_from_float(1020)
NEON: 3510 usec.
ref: 60731 usec.
checking NEON sconv_s16le_to_float(1020)
NEON: 1800 usec.
ref: 10254 usec.
