Not really right now -

two reasons. Generic SSE3 is slow - way slower than generic SSE2. Also, since someone posted information about ICCPatch, I've tested what times I get using a patched ex-P4 only SSE2/3 on AMD systems. The SSE3 version is still a little bit slower than the SSE2, but they are both quicker than the generic counterparts.

However, I'm still researching the legal angle of this practice and have received a word of warning that these executables may not produce valid results (although my tests have) due to the register use being optimized specifically for Intel's products.

HTH,
Simon.

How do you patch the files? I found the program "intel_check_executable_patch" from the website you menioned, but it is not a executable file in Windows.

Kevin, it was all in good humour :o)

You're welcome to do anything you'd like, as the apps are released to the public.

I just stumbled across your team's URL in the referrers and couldn't resist.

If you're interested, we could share benchmark results - you can reach me at simon <squiggle> zadra.org.

Regards,
Simon.

I know it was in good humour - I wanted to compare and I am sure you would be interested as well

I will share them - gotta find them first - I only ran a couple of WU's with your app, have not run any on this machine with SETI.USA app - the machine is on Rosetta right now, but I guess I can load it up with the SETI.USA app tonight and see what gives, would be intereting.
