Released / SSE2 vs. SSE3

Last post by Jimbocous - March 08, 2014, 11:15:06 AM

Just wondering if it makes a difference as to which apps are run based on whether the CPU supports SSE3 or just SSE2. Seems to me I recall there was something about that in the Lunactics installer. The reason I ask is that the BOINC client and the 0.41 installer identify both my main machines as being SSE2 only, where CPU-Z indicates SSE3 is supported on both as well.
I've got full info on both machines I can post if appropriate, but the short version is one is a P4 Prescott with 925XE chipset and the other a Pentium-D Presler with 945 chipset. Both are 3.4ghz, on XP3.
No big thing, but I found it curious and thought I'd ask here in case any of you gurus know the answer.

I decided to change up the looks a little bit this weekend, but the old theme is still available if people want to use it.

There are even several other themes available.

General Discussion / Re: Parallella: A Supercompute...

What would be even more interesting I think would be a chassis that could accept between 5 and 30 nVidia K1 chip add-in boards (all small credit card sized things), that you could then run a parallel multi cpu and gpu system. With all 30 add-in boards installed the maximum power draw would be a small 150W and I am thinking its processing capacity could be quite substantial. But hey, I could be wrong

Hey,

Just checking in to see if there was any progress on either more optimized MB CPU apps or MB ATI apps for the Mac.  I have a shiny new Mac Pro at my disposal and there aren't nearly enough AP work units to even begin to give this thing something to do...lol

Thanks,

Chris

Are you talking about the Q8300 with the GT210?

That machine actually has SSSE3 on it.

Yep, AP and MB cpu should be a good starting point.  post your proposed app_info.xml if you feel it warrants checking.

I'll try scare up a recent Cuda multibeam build as soon as I can get into that machine without interruptions from the Koalas getting into my sewer pipes.

Lol. I will. I am off to a concert photo shooting now, so no hurry, I won't have the time to hack into my linux box for a couple days at best.
Thank you!
