Well...

I have my first 'full crunched by' AKV8 SSSE3x version...

Amanzing...

In my (only one) stock computer C2D E6300 (at stock speed, 1,86Ghz) this WU was crunched with AKV8 SSSE3x

And this simmilar one with 2.4V SSSE3 by Crunch3r

WOW....!!!!

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?

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.

Hi, i noticed this too, the SSE3 optimized app. (Lunatics) is (almost) twice as fast as the SSSE3 version, on my Q6600 @ 3170MHz, also on my NON OC'ed Q6600 and on my QX9650 @ 3450MHz (10x345). Which also gains from the XP64, (8GByte DDR2 800.)

A new comparison, maybe usefull, as the ones with SSSE3 are about the same as the 'stock app.' .
But that's just my opinion and experience, i've tried them both SSSE3 & SSE3 & stock.SSE3 came out, so far a winner.
Do not have a website yet, to show some graph's, but sined up for Image Shack,
NOT AN ADD, but my own website is down at the moment.



All the cores @ 100%, so no memory slow-down.

Thanks to all you guys that are/were involved in this "porting" project. Much appreciated. ;)

Well...

I have my first 'full cruncred by' AKV8 SSSE3x version...

Amanzing...

Looks great Logan. A real increase in speed for sure.

---

Another ready result with aprox. same AR:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=829937017 CPU time 3641.421875
compared to:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=830076896 CPU time 2154.641
WOW!

---

WOW!

Darn, all these good task times makes me ticked I cant install the software remotely. For some reason my firewall wont let me connect even though I managed to do it yesterday. Looks like the upgrade will have to wait a few hours :(

---

First WUs were crunched.

Before: about 7700 sec
After: about 3900 sec

same AR on stock Q6600 (non OC)

Installation on different cpu Types:
Stop Service
Copy in Folder
Start Service

no WU losts.

Worked ok with SSE3, SSSE3X and SSE4.1

(But one Celeron (with SSE3) the estimated time went backwards
so I switched it back to 2.4)

Remember that the estimated time is based on the history of your machine. I would let it crunch a few WU's with the new App before giving up on it; it might surprise you...

One thing's for certain - there's going to be a whole lot more tasks "Out in the field" on the Status Page. I have returned only 2 tasks crunched completely with the new App and am crunching 4 more and my machine just can't stop downloading extra work!!

Hahaha, Fred... Here too... and I have only 4 days of cache now (about 80 WUs with 2.4V SSSE3, and now I have 93 and increasing...)

WOW!!!!

P.D.:If you want take stats from a stock machine, now is the moment...!

Thanks for the offer, Logan. But I think I am all "stat'd" out at the moment. Have to do fee-earning work for the next couple of days and it really is time I got round to trying to update my "Vac" code.

I have spent quite a bit of time over the past few weeks trying to keep everyone informed about the progress being made in the developments and, hopefully, helping the developers a little in determining which "tweaks" gave most benefit. But I don't really see much mileage in collecting stats of new Apps vs "old" Apps. Now that I have an SSE4.1 chip up and running, I will test both the new SSE4.1 and SSSE3x Apps on it to put my own mind at rest as my earlier testing suggested little difference in performance.

No problem, my friend.

Only if you wanted was a compilation.

I suppose that has been very hard work during these days ... Relax, and you know that I think you have done a great job!

Best regards.

I'm pretty impressed with the first results! I was expecting something but not SUCH a decrease in time.
My T9300 went from roughly 5880 sec to 3420 sec with AK_v8.0_Win32_SSE4.1 which shows ~40% of decrease!

Thanks for all the work you guys put in!

---

Well done guys.

Have just downloaded the 64bit SSE3 version.

---

Thank you to all who made it possible this new apps!!

I see between V5.15 Rev. 2.4V SSE3 and the new SSSEx (both 32 bit) ~ 40 % more speed at my QX6700..


BTW.
The QX6700 need now ~ 5 to 10 W more..
And the CPU is ~ 1 - 2 °C hotter.. and sometimes for short time (it depend at which WU-progress) 1 - 2 °C hotter additional.. (so complete 2 - 4 °C hotter)
OC to now stable..

---

The AK port is great. Downloaded the 32 bit versions for my X2 3800 & 4200. Slight hiccup with the 3800. It wouldn't d/l any wu's. Quick reset & it's working great.

X4 9500 has already completed 2 wu's a lot faster than stock.

Thanks Guys

Just in a quick look on my Dell, I am seeing 2200 to 2400 seconds faster performance.

And about 1200 seconds faster than my iMac.

This is on the 54.xx credit work units.

---

For the first time ever, I did a WU under 10,000 seconds! LOL This on my P4 2.8GHz w/HT POS Dell. LOL Very nice work with getting the port to windows guys. And thank you for being able to release it.

Same here. Dropped from 5500 seconds to 3300 seconds, give or take a couple of hundred seconds, which equates to a huge increase in speed.

Thanks to everyone involved.

Oh and the shorties completing in under 900 seconds - NICE

Not sure if AK V8 caused this...
01/05/2008 05:48:13|SETI@home|Resetting project
01/05/2008 05:48:13|SETI@home|Detaching from project
on host Dacom-UK

It's running WHS(Server 2003). so far all other rigs are crunching ok.
