Protien stastistics for various CPUs

Found this, its based off of 1 persons data. Its pretty good, but there are a lot of protiens that have only been done once per cpu. It would be good to see more sample data per protien per cpu. But it does answer a lot of questions that have been floating around. The person does not say if the 2.4c...

Tinkers are written in Fortran while Gromacs are in assembler. While Fortran is a good language for scientific and mathematic applications, nothing beats assembler.

Mas, unless I'm missing something, your test do not necessarily show that there is a 140+% increase in frame rate. It shows that a single process' frame rate, for different frames and different versions of clients run 140+% slower with two processes than one, or am I missing something? Even though w...

Running 2 clients on a single threaded processor would be slower than a single client due to task switching overhead. But the difference is probably not enough to be noticed.

As ArtCubed pointed out, you can get a ~10% ppw gain with HT on and 2 clients running. I haven't done any benchmarks on my 2.8c so I don't know the actual numbers. David or someone else may have some done some benchmarking on this.

10% more output should be about 80 or so points a week. Should be a way to run 100% with ht enable though? With HT enabled, you are running the processor at 100%. Since HT makes 1 physical processor look like two logical processors using thread level parallism on the processor, task manager reports...

Thanks Trip.

I think I was a little vague about the ps options with the HT-200. The ps options are extra, or you can get it without the ps. The $229 is w/o the ps, but its still a good deal since it includes the VFD
