  • Performance issues ahead? M1 Big Endian?

    From SpreadTooThin@21:1/5 to All on Mon Dec 14 19:03:02 2020
    The M1 chip is Big Endian.

    While it may not yet be a large producer of data, it will most certainly will be the recipient of Little Endian data and therefore be required to do a lot of very large byte swapping operations.

    Just a thought and a heads up.

    It is not:

    Both Apple silicon and Intel-based Mac computers use the little-endian format for data, so you don’t need to make endian conversions in your code.
