June 21, 20178 yr I'm currently trying to figure out, why my efficiency is so bad when benching singlecore chips: TAGG`s SuperPi - 1M score: 16sec 656ms with a Celeron 420 With Dualcore CPUs the setup keeps up with submissions that have more or less the same core and RAM clocks/ timings, with this Celeron however the efficiency is terrible. Tweaks done: Maxmem 600 PCI lock Performance for Background tasks RAM as Systemcache (large system cache) Pagefile 512 MB Realtime Priority Green Theme Low resolution and color depth during bench Superpi files on individual partition kill explorer no wazza I'm sure I' missing some major tweak for singlecore chips here, since there is allmost a second difference... Hope someone is willing to help me
June 22, 20178 yr What i could think of , is Memory sub-timings (not the primary ones) ... and bios version.
June 22, 20178 yr If I remember correctly, for Wolfdale processors SuperPI 1M would have a good boost if you use a BIOS that has a microcode that does not support the Wolfdale processors.
June 22, 20178 yr Author @Massman I know about the wolfdale bug, it only works on 45nm though, this Celeron is a 65nm Chip, will try different BIOS versions anyhow, once i have time (maybe try removing the microcode for this Conroe-L from the BIOS would work?) @TASOS Subs are not increddibly loose, and as mentioned the same setup is way better with same timings and RAM clock when using a dualcore CPU... Hence me thinking it's an OS/BIOS problem...
June 22, 20178 yr If the computation size (1M) is bigger than your L2 cache (512K), you need copywaza. Edited June 22, 20178 yr by TaPaKaH
June 23, 20178 yr Author Thanks a lot, once I'm done with Sandy i'll fire the REX up again and try using wazza even for 1M
June 24, 20178 yr If the computation size (1M) is bigger than your L2 cache (512K), you need copywaza. 1M decimals vs 512K bytes?
