Well,

Yes I think so too - but i've also seen other xeon class machines with much higher benchmarks - (i still find the numbers low)..


see this example;


--------------------
http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=36273

CPU type GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz
Number of CPUs 4

Measured floating point speed 2998.48 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 8998.8 million ops/sec
--------------------

--------------------
http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=138525

CPU type GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz
Number of CPUs 4

Measured floating point speed 2979.01 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 8978.74 million ops/sec
--------------------

I really wonder.... maybe i should just try to turn off HT and see...

Hi All,

I have a workstation which crunch for me all the time, i'm however puzzled of the relative poor numbers htese pretty hefty cpus are getting from the cpu benchmark;

------------------
CPU type GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz
Number of CPUs 4 (thats 2 hyperthreaded cpus)

Measured floating point speed 1363.35 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 1123.04 million ops/sec
------------------

I think thats pretty low numbers... heres what a non ht p4 is getting;
-----------------
CPU type GenuineIntel Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.53GHz
Number of CPUs 1

Measured floating point speed 1328.72 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 2703.29 million ops/sec
-----------------

Whats happening - is boinc setin not ht compliant / optimized - or does it just not runn well on xeon cpus ??

do i need to disable the ht feature of my xeon processors ??

/Henrik
