SSE/2 Optimization Guide W/ Pics

[ZX7891]

First exit out of boinc


Download the latest version here http://calbe.dw70.de/boincw.html
Use SSE for P3 and AMD Athlon XP/socket A semprons, and use the sse2 for all cpus on the socket 754, 939 or AM2 platform along with all Pentium 4's

extract the files into C:/programfiles/Boinc folder, then say yes to all


open up boinc and watch your benchmarks skyrocket

System restart is required to see difference in benchmark (on some systems)
nice guide
sticky.

New SSE2 gave me nothing on ALL of my Pentium4 cruncers....I could say it was even worse....PLUS that I had "sometimes" lost connections and destroyed WU......NO GO as for me.....

hmm, you did download the 5.5.0 one right?

all i did, was download the new boinc client

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php
5.4.9 @ the top for windows

install it over the old one

then download the 5.5.0 on the crunch3r site, then put both those files in the boinc folder, mine both went up, but then again, that was on a a64.

but it still shouldn't make WU's error out

[@_dud]

the link isn't working for me.

[G3n3R@1]

ya the link is down right now

[bobbywindel]

All the links to crunchr3 redirect to the boinc site. Perhaps someone can share the download files so the rest of us can optimize?

[G3n3R@1]

I can email it to people if they like. Just give me a PM.

P.S. I only have the SSE2 optimization downloaded so i can't really help anyone out with the others.

[mrkram]

just wanted to say that these optimizations really improved my scores:
cpu test does:
4620 floating point MIPS(Whetstone) per cpu
8979 integer MIPS(Dhrystone)per cpu

im on an opty 165 @ 2.7 hopefully to be 3ghz once i get my RD-30 setup

ps. thanks general for the optimizations, much appreciated.

Can someone send me this update to cooperxs AT gmail DOT com - i`ll host it.

Im at 2.900 with opti 165 and i get 5xxx/16xxx points. Run the benchmark again

Cows to the rescue? We've got Crunch3r's clients there.

http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/...82224#25882224

Please host them somewhere yourself if you can, otherwise my ISP will kill me.

Thanks, Mr. Cow, that was nice of you.

Thanks Cows!!

Holy cow, what a difference in benchmarks!

Hey, been contributing for a couple of days now...couldn't get the optimisations from anywhere - thanks for posting them.

Ta

Been watching for a while now, reading up on OCing. I've been using computer's for years and started building them last year. I've only ever owned laptops, but will be building one for myself at some point this year.

Well, at least my first post is a useful one

[...]Holy cow[...]

There's no need to worship us

[shaolin95]

Awesome!
I went from
~2700/5400 per CPU
to
5017/16648 per CPU!!!!

Stunning job!

UPDATE!
I just got a "new" file from Fr3ak and my new score is slightly better at 5159/11883 per CPU! Cool...

[TuKo]

Just done this update :

6240 floating point MIPS
22425 integer MIPS

Now, we'll see what Conroe can do to Rosetta

[jimwah]

Went from 1309/1571 to 1984/2893 on my P4 3.0Ghz (5.2.13 client - HT on) - thanks muchly Pretty low benchmarks, but its my work PC & usually has a screenful of apps open & QMC'ing @ 100% too - it has a tough life lol. Thanks for the mirrors guys :thumbsup:
