S37a works on my P4 Northwood 2.4Ghz, but it seems slower than C37 (8% slower in a first and not very accurate partial measure)
Update: I've taken a second measure, in a new "mixed" WU: 30% completed with S37a, and the remaining with C37.
The results: S37a is 9% slower than C37 on my P4 Northwood
Ok, finished a run with C37 vs. S37 on P4 Prescott: C37 is as fast as S37 on this machine (diffence: 10 seconds).
So I will try it on the Yonah-Nootbook in next days (and on a Opteron if my team mate is willing to spend some cpu cycles ;)) ... and finally buy an Conroe ;)
Ive noticed that running these does the same as seti@home's optimized apps, it lowers the requested credits. has anyone checked to see if using the trux optimized client will request higher credits with optimized e@home?
Hi i'm slightly confused as to which of these two optimised codes i'm suppose to go for. Either the C37 or the S37a?
Reading through is seems that the S37a has enhanced instructions SSE2 which my cpu supports but it seems some people are saying its slower?
Anyway i realise it would be processor/core specifis so i used cpuid to find any extra info that might help. Don't know much about the 'paths' ect. but its;
Petium D 830, Dual core 3ghz
Codeame; Smithfield
Package; LGA775
Family; F Model; 4
Revision; A0
Instructions; MMX,SSE,SSE2,SSE3,EM64T
My other computer is;
Pentium 4 3.4ghz HT
I think its either Prescott or Northwood but i'll have to have a look
Well, it is the way it is supposed to work. You use less cpu-time therefore you should have less credit...

Yes and No. That's the way the benchmark based credit claiming work.
But the idea behind the credit system is "If you do the same work as someone else you should receive the same amount of credit" ... assuming that faster processing of real work is reflected by a higher benchmark value which will increase the claimed credit.
Therefore the future seti app for example will use a different base for claimed credit. It will count work steps instead use the benchmark.

RE: Hey Alinator! I did C37

Okee Dokie, will set them up with C37 for the next set of results.

C37 is about 15% faster (compare 3 results with A36, 1 result with C37)

My client(5.3.12tx36)still blocking calibration.
- negative calibration limit ... without opt. or using A36,C37 :-(

I do. It works well and claim about 37 credits for "standard albert"
