1  Optimized Seti@Home apps / Windows / Re: GPU crunching question on: 28 May 2007, 04:39:40 am
2xOpteron 265s, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 7800GS AGP 512 MB RAM.

Ran for about 5 minutes, CPU usage: client about 75% of one core, csrss.exe about 20% of another core
I belive the csrss.exe is working at updating the CLI window output?!

Notebook with Pentium M 1,73 GHz, 2GB RAM, Nvidia 6600 GO 128 MB, XP Pro sp2.

About 6 minutes. No errors. CPU usage at 100%.

Ran it twice - check out the stderr.txt.

I ran the client on my computer with dual Opterons and a nVidia 7800GS card ( AGP ).

Processor usage - one core at 60 to 70%.

I just would like to add that the potentially modified SSE2_Intel app have taken the RAC of my Opteron rig from 1250 to 1550 the last month.

Hi KarVi!

This is clipped from one of my results, and one thing that springs to mind is that I'm running the 5.5.0 app while you are running the .tx36 calibrating app - I don't know if that may be the cause?

As you can see below, the app. chooses various approaches for the different parts of the analysis.
I patched the Intel versions and the renamed  them to replace the generic versions,
then I compared the different runs in the "KWSN - CPU Test & Benchmark Tool V2"

The generic SSE2 were the fastest on my system, in all of the three versions of the test.

But I will re-run the tests just to be sure an report back to you!  Tongue

Update!

Having re-run the tests with potentially changed clients I have to agree with you, the Intel is the fastest.
And I'm changing to the fastest one now. .... Cheesy

Starting tests. This will take a few minutes, please be patient!

Testing setiathome-kwsn-ssse3-c2-v141.exe...does not work on your system!

Testing SaH_5.15_KWSN_SSE3_Ben-Joe_2.0_B.exe...ran for  624 seconds

Testing SaH_5.15_KWSN_SSE2-Intel_Ben-Joe_2.0_B.exe...ran for  606 seconds

Testing SaH_5.15_KWSN_SSE2-PM_Ben-Joe_2.0_B.exe...ran for  628 seconds

Testing SaH_5.15_KWSN_SSE2_generic_Ben-Joe_2.0_B.exe...ran for  630 seconds

Skipping other apps - SSE2 is quicker than SSE if supported.

Finished with test run!

If someone were very enterprising...and curious about such things...

They could observe the 2.0 crunchers in action and note that the code checks for the specific presence of an Intel processor four times in each of the intel specific .exe files.  The first 4 occurences of 'Genu' 'ineI' 'ntel' in the source code are solely to limit code to Intel only.  Any following occurences are for my CPUID code when identifying CPU. Just for curiosity sake. 

You might also notice that Simon neglected to compute an overall checksum over the entire EXE allowing naughty end users to potentially change the code and still have it run.  Naughty Simon!

And if someone should try to run the potentially changed code on an Opteron 265 they would notice that the generic SSE2 client is faster than the potentially changed one.  Wink

Hi!

I am very pleased with the new 2.0 'Ni!' app!

Checking and comparing the speed against other computers have revealed that the 2.0 'Ni!' app running on my Opteron 265's at 1,8GHz are faster than the 1,3 app running on an X2 4800+ at 2,4GHz.

The RAC of my computer have climbed through 1400 and are still rising.  Grin

A few differences from the previous version, so I have attached the new 10-04-A result from my Opteron machine.

Here are the results obtained from my Opteron 265 cpus.
