Bulvurde Optimization

Went into work today (Sunday) for a brief bit. I've been juggling resources on a device to get LVCSR and human quality TTS working simultaneously. I discovered that 3 different customers are all using Bulvurde ARM processors from Intel. I think it may be worth my while to create optimized software just for this chip. I've downloaded an evaluation of Intel's compiler. If it generates measurably better code, I'll convince the company to buy it. I tried a few brief tests; I think all the loop unrolling and other optimizations hand-coded are interfering with the compiler. I'll try again, soon.
