#> Performed benchmarks for the native code that was interfaced with java. The test results are tabulated as below. Manually performed benchmarks for the GCJ, Kaffe and Jikes as intelliJ 5.0 needed a particular version of JDK. Hence the result below for SUN JDK was also performed at command line.

Explored the Vector processing libraries,
#> Downloaded the VSIPL library and compiled it, worked pretty good. Ran all the test examples and just got some hands on in coding using VSIPL libraries.
#>Downloaded it++, another high performance library, a very huge system, compiled it and installed it, ran a couple of examples works pretty good.
#>Looked into VecLib, very specific, could not get hold of VecLib for intel, just a lot of material on the web, but not the source download.
Currently trying native development using VSIPL library.
