New Apps based on Code Revision 2.0 'Ni!' have been released

<< < (6/7) > >>

Kna:
Another big thanks to all the guys which have allowed to this new optimised revision to exist   :)

But a strange behaviour with my Intel SSE only CPUs ?
Rev 2.0 seems to be on average 10% slower than rev 1.3 or Crunch3r SSE app, at similar AR.

K7 CPUs seems not to be affected. Due to different architecture, or DDR instead of PC133 SDRAM ? Mystery..

Does anybody notice the same thing ?

Simon:
Not really, Franck -

though I have to say that I didn't test on SSE-only systems a lot (though other people did and reported good success). Thing is, they all used AMD CPUs, so I really lack results using P3s.

If the new apps don't work as quickly as the old ones, the logical step would be to downgrade ;)

Regards,
Simon.

Kna:
Yes Simon, downgrade allready done, even if I don't have entensive measurements of this slowdown.
It was simply not nice to see   :)

Old PIII and Celeron desktops would be upgraded to P4 soon, the last survivors will be some dual PIII servers which suffice for their tasks for a few times.

I've downgraded to Crunch3r SSE, allready the fastest app for Intel PIII familly if I'm not mistaken, but Monday I put previous Chicken everywhere.
After some recent Crunch3r's post in Berkeley forum, his apps are banned from my rigs. But it's another story  ;D

Regards,
Franck.

Furex:
Great stuff!

Hope to see R2.0 for linux soon  ;)

I am having Amd Athlon 64 3000+ (venice core). Should I use SSE or SSE2 Generic? Curently I am using SSE2 Generic....
