Some times with my Athlon

Some times with my Athlon 4600+ - Win2k and the application 4.13
8 wus -> ~ 20h 9 min/wu

With my 2 Barton 3200+ - Millenium - application 4.13
3 wus -> ~ 1 day 1 min/wu

It doesn't to have a big gap between my X2 and my XP's.

S5R2 using SSE, S5R1 wasn't, as per Akosf's post?

S5R1 had FPU and SSE optimised subroutines too.
S5R2 doesn't use SSE code at moment.

Quote:
Per CPUz, that particular CPU is XP1700+ Thoroughbred with MMX(+), and 3DNOW(+). No SSE on it.

I had four Athlon XP 1700+ CPUs, all of them knew SSE.
I went over the AMD Tech Docs to check myself.
All of the Athlon XP CPUs know SSE instructions.

AMD Athlon XP Tech docs:
24309 AMD Athlonâ„¢ XP Processor Model 6 Data Sheet (Palomino)
25175 AMD Athlonâ„¢ XP Processor Model 8 Data Sheet (Thoroughbred)
26237 AMD Athlonâ„¢ XP Processor Model 10 Data Sheet (Barton)

Well, this particular one doesn't. My XP 1600+ system (before it caught on fire) would run rings around it...IT definitely had, and used, the SSE instructions! I've always been disappointed in that particular chip. It's due to be replaced with an XP 2200+ ($46) this coming week. Just about the max that MB will take.

FWIW my Core2 Duo iMac’s

FWIW my Core2 Duo iMac’s E@h production has remained more or less constant at ~23 CS/CPUh for the past few weeks, straddling the transition; if anything its RAC has increased a little recently, but that’s probably because SiMaP only has work for the first week or two of each month. The tasks it’s been running are all worth ~323 credits each, if that makes any difference. Its E@h and SETI@home RACs were running neck-and-neck before I installed an optimized S@h app, more or less doubling the latter.

well in the end that wu took 268,511.94 (74.58 hours) and claimd 522.57 http://einsteinathome.org/workunit/33420960

if i did my math right thats 7cr/h ?

seeing without seeing is something the blind learn to do, and seeing beyond vision can be a gift.

Barton has 512k 2nd level cache, might make a difference.

Thoroughbred B (Windows) are not very efficient with Hierarchical
WUs, whereas Linux seems not to be affected so much (credits-wise).

Are the results of Windows

Are the results of Windows 4.13 and Linux 4.14 inkompatible? I found the following two:
http://einsteinathome.org/workunit/33415116 and http://einsteinathome.org/workunit/33369347

Or is there another reason why the WU's aren't granted?

This project has become a poor use of my resources. My computers are spending too much time doing debugging work on the new work units, if I want to do beta testing I'll sign up for it.

Well, ya' know, this is a volunteer effort. If the computer time that I volunteer can help debug the app, that's fine with me.


I don't have a problem in debugging an app, but I'm not going to use 8 computer doing it, if an app is beta call it beta. Einstein screwed up on this one and rush the app, it isn't ready for prime time. There's a number of beta and alpha projects out there and they tell you up front the app is in testing, they failed to be up front with us here at Einstein.

The X2 4600+ has 512KB L2 cache /core and its frequency is 2400Mhz (2200Mhz for a Barton 3200+).

With the 4.17, seems that my X2 4600+ will be fast as with the 4.13. (~ 20 hrs/wu).
About my Bartons 3200+, they are still crunching with the 4.13, so wait and see.

And i have no crash with the wus.

What about the Thunderbird?

The first and second generation Athlons (Classic and Thunderbird) don't know SSE instructions.

I have several Athlon machines that are 2-3 years old ranging from 1.1 to 1.6. Is there somehow a way to determine what core these chips have? With my luck they're probably all Thunderbirds, but I'd still like to find out.

CPU-Z will do the job (under Windows).
