When I tested his app with the benchmark, I didn't change the rights on the file, and the benchmark ran fine. Maybe omitting step 6 is all you have to do?

I did not run benchmark, i have only restarted BOINC. Furthermore, i change the rights to "rwxrwxrwx", more is not possible.

I will try only to copy the file, not to change any rights.



PS: I search the forum for "benchmark", but don't found how do i run it.

Here's the link to the benchmark app....eb.tgz

Basically, unpack the file, replace the "enigma" file with "enigma_static" (i.e. rename it) or one of the apps from TJM's test.tgz file, and then type "./start" within the shell. The benchmark should start and complete within 3-6 minutes depending on the processor and app you've selected. You might want to stop BOINC while this runs, but it's not absolutely needed.

Thanks, benchmark works fine with original app and TJM opt app. The client from Buninek does not run.

Any idea? Agrees the md5 checksum from Buninek's enigma app?

I use Kubuntu 8.10, may be a missing packet?

It is static version. Compiled using gcc-3.4.6 (glibc 2.7).
In me it works with linux x86 and x86_64.
I have no idea why it does not work.

Perhaps your version of glibc is too old?

Try with this version - Link

Thank you for your help and patience.

Try with this version - Link

Yea, nice, this version works. :-)

Thank you for this version you have created for me, i will report about the speed.

Perhaps your version of glibc is too old?

This information will help you eventually?

I get no work sent w/ the upgraded app. Your app_info.xml files doesn't have version Enigma .76b. I think you need to update the files and have really easy step by step instructions. I have windows vista.

I hope the test is interesting for someone. The AMD X2 will follow.

If someone has a Core2 optimized app, I would test it. :-)

I can compile a 32-bit Open64 CORE optimized app if you like (there's already a 64-bit one in the file). It will be compiled on an AMD Phenom, but it should still work.

Yes, that would be glad. This is really kind from you.

@buninek: your app seems to be 30% faster on AMD X2.


Thanks, Grubix.

OK, I've added a 32-bit Core optimized app to the above link. I got 3m 38s on my Phenom (compared to 3m 14s with the Athlon 32-bit app). Try it. See if it works better for you.

Thank you, but the app is not faster than P3 version. I have tested all the 32bit versions from your archive. Here are the benchmark values.

By, Grubix.

Right, the only one that SLIGHTLY beat the TJM P3 app was my Athlon 32-Bit version, but it was within a second of TJM's app so I call it even money between the two.

By, Grubix.

Bunirek's 32-bit app was only about 8-10 seconds slower on the benchmark than my 64-bit optimized app. Definitely beat TJM's P3 app. Should be posted somewhere for people to d/load. FWIW.

Is there a fast kernel for Intel Q9550 win-x64 ?

Is there a fast kernel for Intel Q9550 win-x64 ?

If you mean an optimized app for Win 64-bit, no not yet. I think you can download a copy of Microsoft Visual C++ for your own personal use, and you can compile a copy that way. Or gcc (MinGW?) for windows may work better since this source code is written to NOT be platform specific.

Mike Doerner

My Windows apps were compiled with Mingw, I also tried different versions of MS Visual Studio, but executables build with it were significantly slower.

I was going to try Visual Studio + Intel C Compiler for Windows, but I couldn't get it to work (and the Intel C Compiler for Windows isn't free, just a time-limited trial).

Wow A great job has been done here ! (And is doing)
I'm trying to put all together the differents opti app for every boinc projects.

I have decided to start by Enigma. (But I didn't check this part of the forum for a while) So, I am a bit lost...

It would be very nice to know exactly which app is the best according to the proc.

I can help to make some test as well if you need so.
I'm running on Gentoo 64b

Without knowing which processor you're running, it's hard to tell....;-)

Since you're 64-bit linux, I would try one of the apps in the Open64 64-bit linux thread. I have compiled every available processor optimization within the Open64 suite with the exception of Intel Wolfdale (which AMD admits they forgot to put wolfdale.so in the release, so it will be available in early-June).
