Tobit's Afternoon Delight

This WU finished a little while ago and the numbers held pretty consistent throughout for an about 6K to 7K PPD difference compared to the Windows 7 numbers I posted earlier. I'm pleased.

Min. Time / Frame : 00:23:42 - 82,153.7 PPD
Avg. Time / Frame : 00:23:53 - 81,209.5 PPD
 
That's very impressive, Tobit. It really begs the question what it would be able to do in native Linux.

I can't wait for the day -bigadv returns to native Linux.
 
Apollo and others...

I recently added two more sticks of memory so I am now operating in triple channel mode and I've disabled NUMA in the BIOS. As a result, I now have Windows7 running better natively than Linux/WINE on the same WU.

Min. Time / Frame : 00:20:11 - 104,534.6 PPD
Avg. Time / Frame : 00:20:15 - 103,293.4 PPD

Pretty damn impressive I'd say.

On Linux, it appears that the NUMA setting in the BIOS is ignored by the kernel and the kernel is forcing NUMA. What I need to try next is to compile the kernel without any kind of NUMA support whatsoever and see how it does. So I still have some more work to do with my kernel tuning.
 
Nice increase in ppd! What were your linux/wine results verus win7?
Nm, I see your previous post.
I much prefer running Linux and can't wait for the return of linux -bigadv too
 
Wow, huge boost!! The NUMA disable setting has really proven a boon for the dual S1366 folks. :cool:
 
Since I'm in Windows, I'm now using the SetFSB utility to software OC these puppies by a whopping 48 MHz. Shaved a few seconds off to put me below 20m frames:

Min. Time / Frame : 00:19:54 - 106,775.1 PPD

:cool:
