L1CACHE
|
Description
|
Newton barrier: L1 cache size in kB (kilo bytes) of the CPU. On Intel (or compatible) platforms a value of -1 may be used to determine the cache size automatically.

Type

Integer

Default value
|
Hardware/platform dependent.

Note
|
Specifying the correct L1 cache size can give a significant performance advantage with the Newton barrier algorithm. If the size is unknown, it is better to specify a smaller size. If the size cannot be determined automatically on Intel (or compatible) platforms, a default size of 8 kB is assumed. |
