An absolute beginner to x64 ASM on Linux

[Adam Majewski]

Thx for interesting informations.

If I'm not wrong ppmb it is one of netpb :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netpbm_format
and

Can you show asm code for such functions like :
 double GiveLastIteration(double Zx0, double Zy0, double Cx, double Cy, int ER2)
 {
  double Zx2, Zy2; /* Zx2=Zx*Zx;  Zy2=Zy*Zy  */
  double Zx = Zx0;
  double Zy = Zy0;
  double i=0.0;
  Zx2=Zx*Zx;
  Zy2=Zy*Zy;
  while  (Zx2+Zy2<ER2)  /* ER2=ER*ER */
  {
   Zy=2*Zx*Zy + Cy;
   Zx=Zx2-Zy2 + Cx;
   Zx2=Zx*Zx;
   Zy2=Zy*Zy;
   i+=1.0;
  }
  return i;
 }

 How much faster it will be then above C function ?
