so i'll redo it with the quote and hopefully when you cut and paste to word pad it will be ok

I've now got a bench report back from Mr. Kevvy, with a very clear outcome:

SSE2 is indeed poor on that chip, with our apps especially at VLAR and VHAR. Base SSE is even worse - which somewhat vindicates the author of that comment.

But SSE3 is running well, significantly faster than stock at all ARs and with good Q.

So I'll see what I can do to make the detection work normally on this hardware too. Anyone still running a banias or a pentium-m we could test?

May I FTP you a win32 installer for testing, please? I now have one which should detect and report CPU capabilities accurately on those CPUs (full gory details of that saga on application, later).

I'm game. Do you need a secure place to send it? I made an account on my server for lunatics use several years ago when the kwsn site was having issues. I'll have to see if I can find the password for the account.

I'm not too fussed about it being secure (the payload is in the public domain anyway), but the darn thing has bloated so much in recent years that email is getting unwieldy, quite apart from email providers getting paranoid about executable files in attachments. FTP is quick and easy, for those who have a server-based setup already.

CPU detection seems good on my Pentium M







Installer 0.44a still has Multibeam misspelled as Mutlibeam when selecting CUDA & iGPU apps.

Thanks - looking good so far. Mr. Kevvy said that he would check it out when he gets home from work - that usually means overnight for me, because of time zones. Edit - he's just reported that SSE3 is showing up as well.

I'll fix the typos, but probably not bother with a public release until we can cure some of the obesity by dropping MB_v7 support. I'll have to decide what to do about the missing SSSE3, SSE4.1, and SSE4.2 apps then - I may be able to debug a 9KB DLL, but I don't think I'm up to full app optimisation yet.

A thread marked as "sticky", by a moderator, is one that always appears first in a specific topic. Unless you have checked "Don't move sticky posts to top" in your settings.

They also get different icons.

Even though I'm not Richard, if there were any problems with the new w/u's then someone will soon let us know here. ;-)

I've got quiet a few here now, but I hope that they don't add a complication to what I'm doing.

Cheers.

The apps are tested with GBT tasks.

Dont worry.
The apps are tested with GBT tasks.

I'd say that the apps were designed to work to the GBT specification, and have received some limited testing on a sample tape at Beta.

In the past, we have sometimes found that real-world (or should I say, real-space) data contains quirks which didn't show up on the test tapes. So, we need to keep a watching brief on the GBT data flow as it ramps up, just in case some tweaking is needed.

So far, I seem to have been allocated the grand total of two GBT tasks - both VLARs - and both are still waiting to run. So I'm not panicking yet.
