Hello Short WUs (20.40

Hello

Short WUs (20.40 credit sized) are being done in 2,972.94 with 4.17
Previously with 4.10 the best I got was 3,640.14

System is Pentium 4 2.66 (with sse2 capability) and 768 megs ram running Gentoo Linux 2.6.17-r4 and BOINC plus all deps, kernel etc have been compiled from source.

Cheers - Gray

PS: no errors due to the application thus far - and now I know how to change file ownership there should be no more human errors either (grin)

Hi. Just finished my first

Hi.

Just finished my first result using v4.17.

37950001 CPU time: 23,695.24s (claim: 174.58)

The last result using v4.01

37663847 CPU time: 25,847.26s (claim: 172.32)

The speedup is approx. 9%. CPU is AMD X2 3800+.

4.17 is about 5% slower than 4.16 on my Pentium II, while 4.16 was 7% faster than 4.01. So I only gain 2%.

8 results in and they are

8 results in and they are around 18,900 sec, about 17% faster than 4.01.
All still pending.

cruch times for a long WU

cruch times for a long WU went from about 9 hours (4.01) to about 8 hours with both 4.16 and 4.17 on an AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+, 256 mb memory, Linux fc3.

4.16 amd 4.17 results are all within a few minutes of each other.

Latest result with 4.17 is even worse than with 4.01. I see 4.17 is using very little physical memory (1.8% of total). Can this be a clue?

For my 800 MHz P3

For my 800 MHz P3 processors:

v4.01 times: approx. 9,200 - 9,300 seconds
v4.16 times: approx. 8,900 - 9,000 seconds
v4.17 times: approx. 7,800 - 8,000 seconds

Good morning everybody. Here

Good morning everybody. Here are my first results obtained under beta 4.17

AuthenticAMD mobile AMD Athlon XP-M 2400+ Linux 2.6.8-24.24-default (Suse 9.2)
Computation times ( in seconds )

v4.01 average: 31881.45 v4.01 std dev: 775.56 [sample of 15 results]
v4.16 average: 27903.87 v4.16 std dev: 301.39 [sample of 5 results]
v4.17 average: 28109.39 v4.17 std dev: 185.97 [sample of 2 results]

Compare v4.16/v4.01 = 12.48% faster
Compare v4.17/v4.01 = 11.83% faster
Compare v4.17/v4.16 = -0.74% slower

Caution ! I need 1 more result before calculating acurate average time and std deviation.

However, first data ocuring for an Athlon 64 3500+ tends to show an even greater loss of speed of v4.17 vs 4.16 [about -2 %]

Hi again :-) AuthenticAMD

Hi again :-)

AuthenticAMD AMD Athlon64 3500+ Linux 2.6.13-15.8-default (Suse 10.1)
Computation times ( in seconds )

v4.01 average: 55562,95 v4.01 std dev: 836.75 [sample of 15 results]
v4.16 average: 44060,07 v4.16 std dev: 56.75 [sample of 3 results]
v4.17 average: 44979,89 v4.17 std dev: 7.48 [sample of 2 results]

Compare v4.16/v4.01 = 20.70% faster
Compare v4.17/v4.01 = 19.05% faster
Compare v4.17/v4.16 = -2.09% slower

Am I the only one who believes that 4.17 is slower than 4.16 ? On AMD and non-Xeon Intel, anyway.

On my Pentium II (no SSE) 4.17 is slower than 4.16 and also 4.01.
