Thanks for your continued efforts. Seems to be running fine on a K6-2, and hopefully I'll be back in around 100 Ksecs. or so with a positive report! :-)
Probably this code isn't the best for K6-2, but I hope that it will be faster than original.
Roger that, but even though it may not be optimum for the K6 family, it's looking at this point like it's still going to be about twice as fast as stock Albert! Sweet! :-)

This "unofficial" Beta test of ours seems to be going quite well! :)
One hopes the official powers that be will release this as an official release so that the entire project can benefit from this wonderful optimization!

The feeling I get is that it will happen rather quickly, though there may be some delay while they try to massage the code for our folks on Linux and older, non-Altivec Macs. Shouldn't forget the Solaris, either.
I expect there will be a scramble to upgrade the servers, too, to handle the vastly increased throughput.

Hope they increase the daily quota too. I've got one system that runs out of WUs (the small ones) in less than 12 hrs. (That's all it's been getting since I switched to the optimized app.)

I just got a batch that's running around 14 minutes each. At that rate, I'll be out in less than 8 hours. I don't run anything but einstein now, so if they don't increase the quota, my cpus will get some well deserved rest.

IT depends. Judging from comments Bruce's made earlier the gains from hand optimization vs letting the compiler do all the work are very minimal outside of altivec macs. Which means that first he'll have to convert aksof's enhancements (improvment's in the fundamental algorithm) back into C(++?) and build executables for all the various platforms before releasing anything.

No crash, wus validated OK
It's time now to install A36 on a Barton 2500+ and an Athlon64 3200+
Definitively, a superb application
Thanks to you and kudos Akosf.

Currently testing the new app and its really nice :-)

I examined the linux code closely. It's horrible.
The 'blind flying' type optimization is hopeless. I'm sorry...
Probably a better compiler would be able to increase its performance significantly.

Thanks for looking anyway. Nobody can do everything (and do a good job of it, that is).
