Beta version 24.12 available

Prime95 · 2005-06-09, 00:58

The first beta of version 24.12 can be downloaded from:

Windows: ftp://mersenne.org/gimps/p95v2412.zip
Linux: ftp://mersenne.org/gimps/mprime2412.zip.tar.gz or
Static Linux: ftp://mersenne.org/gimps/sprime2412.zip.tar.gz

This version is faster for all SSE2 machines (2 - 10%).
SSE2 code supports FFT sizes up to 32 million, but don't use them yet. They need some more QA (see next post).
Has a workaround for Error 3 problem.
Should be harder for computers to spontaneously rename themselves.

Prime95 · 2005-06-09, 01:06

I'm down to just one idea left to speed up the code. After working on that for a while, I will need volunteers to time prime95 on various L2 cache sizes and I will need volunteers to QA the large FFT sizes.

I especially need an AMD SSE2 machine with 256K L2 cache.

I'll also need a 1MB L2 cache P4 and 512K L2 cache AMD64 machine, but these are very common.

I need an AMD64 and P4 machine with 2GB of memory to QA the large FFTs.

If you can help, please revisit this section of the forums over the next week or two. I'll announce a test version to download for benchmarking and QAing.

George, I wanted to make sure that you were aware of an interesting article by Xbit Labs on the Pentium IV Replay feature. It might explain the weirdness experienced by PhilF and delta_t that you commented on in the Early Beta of Version 24.11 thread.

No 64-bit clients, yet?

Cruelty · 2005-06-09, 07:33

There is a significant gain (>20%) by going from 23.8 to 24.11, however 24.12 does not offer any drastic performance increase over 24.11 (something below 1%).

Kaboom · 2005-06-09, 08:04

Cool!

About 10% gain.

I have two P4 Prescotts with 1MB, one always in Linux (office) and one always in Windows (home). Do let me know what benchmarks you want.

So from my analysis - percentage speedup in (brackets):

512K : 17.486 vs 16.216 (+7.263%)
640K : 21.24 vs 20.766 (+2.232%)
768K : 25.714 vs 25.187 (+2.049%)
896K : 30.632 vs 29.88 (+2.455%)
1024K : 34.529 vs 34.054 (+1.376%)
1280K : 45.018 vs 42.345 (+5.938%)
1536K : 54.45 vs 51.512 (+5.396%)
1792K : 65.444 vs 61.213 (+6.465%)
2048K : 73.603 vs 69.289 (+5.861%)

Conclusion:

1. There is no improvement for trial factoring.
2. Nice small improvements throughout the FFT range.

Is it safe to switch to this new version of the client yet?

Betas are always thought to be safe for use - they pass torture tests. However, your risk of running into a new bug is somewhat higher.

I've switched my P4s, my first double-check will complete on Monday.
