Still, kudos to Crunch3r for compiling a cross-platform optimized app. Not everyone uses Windows. ;)


Absolutely! :D If I were using Linux right now I'd be all over his apps. Figured I would try and help the project by testing what I could for those who were interested. :)

Did some testing of the optimized applications from Crunch3r and Sesef. Testing was done on a quad socket E5-4640 V2 running 2012 R2 Server. I used the same .xml file for both as I was originally renaming the .exe file; but then gave the .exe files unique names and edited the .xml instead.
(From what I read, the flops portion of the XML file is only used for estimation. To the best of my knowledge this was the only thing different between the XML file from two apps, aside from the 'Friendly Name', so didn't see any harm in doing this)

The results I saw favor the app from Sesef. YMMV!


TEST #1





TEST #2





TEST #3

Hi Crunch3r. How does this stack up against the app from sesef posted a few days ago? :) Would be running on Windows using E5-2xxx v3 and E5-4xxx V1/V2 processors.

Just signed up for this project yesterday and happened to stumble across this thread. Can say that Sesef's optimized app certainly makes a big difference for me! On one quad-socket E5-4640 v1 box, the WU's went from 60-70m to ~11m. FWIW I did keep an eye on a couple WU's to be sure. BOINC was estimating they'd take about 65 minutes and they finished in just over 11.

BTW, this app helped me contribute 1M points in 24 hours. Awesome. :)
