== Targets ==
Testing done on the entire targetset. A new targetset is decided each year from a poll where the FastCode community can vote. A targetset will typically consist of six CPUs, where four are from Intel and two are from AMD. This ratio has been selected to mimic the marketshares. In addition to these dix CPU targets there are ten targets defined as a blend of the six CPUs. These ten targets are called computed targets and can be speed only or a combination of speed and size. The maximum allowed instruction set is different for each target. A target could be "IA32 size penalty" or "SSE2".
A targetset will typically consist of 6 CPU's, where 4 are from Intel and 2 are from AMD. This ratio has been selected to mimic the marketshares.
In addition to these 6 CPU targets there are 10 targets defined as a blend of the 6 CPU's. These 10 targets are called computed targets and can be speed only or a combination of speed and size. The maximum allowed instruction set is different for each target. A target could be "IA32 size penalty" or "SSE2".
The penalty for size is decided for each challenge by a poll.
