I'm getting some very poor results on a P4C 2.8GHz HT machine: 455 double precision MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU 806 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU Even if you double it for 2 logical CPUs it's still very bad. I was thinking, maybe the Boinc client doesn't understand that the two CPUs reported by the OS aren't physical and is doing some very poor load balancing choices causing cache trashing? I don't want to test with Hyperthreading off at the moment, because I can only connect remotely with SSH to the system. Has anyone else done some real HT tests? |

Yes, hyperthreading is known to confuse the benchmarks. Benchmark with hyperthreading turned off for more accurate results. |

Are you using the latest version of Seti@Home out Majix v3.19, your benchmark score looks more like what a older version would report. I'm getting between 1700 & 2100 double precision MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU on my HT PC's depending on how I test it with the v3.19, with or without HT turned on. |

I agree with PoorBoy , your benchmark is very low or you have something that run with BOINC, have you check the taskmanager ? cheers SETI@Home ITALIA - Team DPRGI 1° Italian Team in Seti@Home Classic |
