Title: Test run results.
Post by: msattler on 02 Sep 2007, 02:47:46 am

Test run results for crunch3r test aoos for those who are not in the pre-release group.

EDIT....added a re-run of the WU0017 test wu.  The first run had a problem with the reference app.

Hi Mark,

Can you give us a short conclusion of your test?
I can't read (understand) those textfiles!

The same test WUs on AMD 64 3200+ (Winchester) (64-bit Win2003)
It seems SSE2 32-bit - the best and 2.4 version is slightly faster than 2.4V new one.
In first test former 2.4 SSE2 app was faster, in other tests 2.4 SSEa (from Crunch3r's site) was faster.

So, according this test, KWSN_2.4_MB_SSE2A.exe  from 2.4_Windows_x32_SSE2_AMD archive - fastest choice for Athlon 64
(and 64-bit OS of course)

Just pay attention to the 'quick timetable' summary at the end of the reports. The summary shows the test WUs that were run, the test apps that were used to run them, and the run time in seconds for each app.  If you just look at the run times, the shorter the better.  You can seen that on different AR WUs, some apps do better than others.  You have to try to pick the one that had the lowest time overall on the mix of WUs tested. On my x64, it was very close between the SSE3 app and the SSSE3 app.
And keep in mind, these test results only apply to the Core 2 cpus that I ran the test on.  Results may be slightly different when run on a different cpu platform.
Hope that helps.
