new version of llr.exe

iconized · 2012-01-10, 17:01

Someone at PrimeGrid compiled a new version of llr.exe. It uses AVX, according to article there, it runs faster on Sandy Bridge and Bulldozer:

Is it okay to use it for PSP-PRP (I have to wait for Win binary though)?

Never mind, there is a new version of prpnet package.

As PrimeGrid is using it, and it produces compatible residues, I don't see why it should not be OK to use it here. It is substantially faster for those who have Sandy Bridge chipsets. :)

I'm testing the new AVX-app on both lunix and win. SP only. Please let me know if they generates any bad residues.

It's looking good. Only one mismatched SP result from you, so that most likely a problem with the FP residue. :)
