Hey guys,

I am coming from the programming forum with a request. I need people with Pentium 4 Northwoods to download my program and post the timing results.

The reason I make this request is that it seems my program does not run well on the Pentium 4, but to verify this I need to get some timing reports on the latest and greatest.

Here at work I have a Pentium 4 Willamet paired with Rambus memory. The timing reports indicates that the Athlon 64 is more than 2x faster per clock cycle. Since my Athlon 64 is overclocked to 2350mhz, this means I'd need a Pentium 4 at about ~4.8ghz to beat it.

What I want to see how is well the Northwood handles the program. How well it scales with clock speed. How much faster it is per clock than the Willamet and how it compares to my Athlon 64. Since I do not have access to a Northwood, I am asking you guys to help me out (and not to start a flame war about which is faster...)

When you run the program, click on "View/Performance Data". A little window shows up with a graph in the lower left corner that displays the number of clock cycles it took the processor to execute that section of the pipeline. If you have the time, please post your results and processor type.

Thanks :)

download the program here:

Optimise it for P4 then! jk ;)

I'll run this for ya, dont mind helping out the [c]ommunity.

Spec today: P4 2.4GHz@2.88GHz (18*160) @ 6-2-2-2

Spec tomorrow: 2.6C/IC7MAX3/OCZ4200!

Will post results shortly...
 
what numbers do you want?
Init: about 240
Pack: about 640

On my work computer: (2.53Ghz, stock Dell, 512MB DDR333, i845 single channel, GF4Mx420, etc)

BTW, whats the point of this? I dont see anything particularly fancy or cool, like DX9 features or anything?
 
Does it actually end?
My numbers are the same as his :|
