At this stage it looks as though initial releases will likely be (6 of): That's nice.. I hope my old AMD K7 friend will have soon his MMX version.. Or is MMX to old to support? |

Final results from the test-pilot-in-chief prior to the BIG DAY. It is unknown whether the SSSE3 or SSE4.1 builds would run on some future AMD CPU with those capabilities, but I doubt it. Don't take tests of those builds on Intel systems as directly indicative of performance of the SSE3 builds which do run on AMD systems. The SSE3 builds provide a very considerable speed increase on both Athlon 64 X2 and Phenom, though. Joe |

And herewith the official results of QSilver's test of Alex's Core2 vs Xeon flavours of optimisation on the Mac: {snipped the charts from above quote} Overall, I agree with Fred's assessment. At best, it's 5% or so improvement where most WUs are generated (Angle Ranges between 0.36 and 0.45) with a smaller standard deviation between WUs. It's possible that there will be no improvement depending on the mix of WUs. If it works, I've attached below a couple of tables showing my MacBookPro (T8300 at 2.4GHz) running the Alex Kan Core2 and Xeon workers. My split of the ARs is different than Fred's. I'm going to collect data for another week or so to see whether these results hold up. I'll probably just leave the Xeon app running after that because, hey, a few percentage points is worth something. And, it'll have to tide me over until v9! QS |

At this stage it looks as though initial releases will likely be (6 of): I use S@H V5.15 Rev. 2.4V SSE3 opt. app for my QX6700, because it's faster as SSSE3. I see this mostly at the ~ 64 Credit WUs.. The others are nearly the same.. How it will be with the new opt. app with Alexs code? The SSSE3(x) would be faster than SSE3? |

I use S@H V5.15 Rev. 2.4V SSE3 opt. app for my QX6700, because it's faster as SSSE3. This is how the pre-release versions of SSE3 and SSSE3x performed: Direct Link There are few readings at VHAR (only 9 / 10) so the apparent reversal of effectiveness should be viewed with caution. F. |

The result of the first WU has been impressive, but was started with the version of Crunch3. When complete a whole with the V8, I think it will be amazing ... Best regards and congratulations to all the people involved in this challenge!!! Logan. BOINC FAQ Service (Ahora, también disponible en Español/Now available in Spanish) |

Holy freek'n cow!!! My P4 Prescott 670 is Love'n this thing, I just installed it & WOW!!! Thank YOU! You guys should get an AWARD! Up and running with AK_v8_win_x32_SSE3.exe. I'm seeing completion times that are half of what I was getting w/Cruch3rs port(which in itself was a VAST improvement of the stock app)! What's will happen when it hits the 13feb08ac's that I just got? OK, back to lurking... rdr |

I even noticed a side effect here, When I restarted Boinc after installing the AK Seti app, Now when I surf the web My web browser doesn't wait for some other process like It did under 2.4V. :D The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |
