math: implement fast path for Exp
- using FMA and AVX instructions if available to speed-up Exp calculation on amd64 - using a data table instead of #define'ed constants because these instructions do not support loading floating point immediates. One has to use a memory operand / register. - Benchmark results on Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz: Original vs New (non-FMA path) name old time/op new time/op delta Exp 16.0ns ± 1% 16.1ns ± 3% ~ (p=0.308 n=9+10) Original vs New (FMA path) name old time/op new time/op delta Exp 16.0ns ± 1% 13.7ns ± 2% -14.80% (p=0.000 n=9+10) Change-Id: I3d8986925d82b39b95ee979ae06f59d7e591d02e Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/62590 Reviewed-by: Ilya Tocar <ilya.tocar@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Keith Randall <khr@golang.org> Run-TryBot: Keith Randall <khr@golang.org> TryBot-Result: Gobot Gobot <gobot@golang.org>
