	... Of the few work units that I have managed to download the 101 app is about one third faster than the 100 app (both sse3 versions). Less (if any) for the Windows x86 version on C2Q, my Xeon (i7 generation, Windows x64) seems to have gained ~1/4 speed

	Of the few work units that I have managed to download the 101 app is about one third faster than the 100 app (both sse3 versions). Now I have a larger sample I would have to say they are taking a little longer. Not by much though. It was about 30-32 mins before, now about 33-35 mins. ____________ BOINC blog

	A little faster. Xeon E3-1225 v2 (4 Core / 4 Threads): - v100.00 SSE3 => 1200-1300sec - v101.00 SSE3 => 1100-1200sec Xeon E3-1245 v2 (4 Core / 8 Threads): - v100.00 SSE3 => 2200-2350sec - v101.00 SSE3 => 2050-2200sec

	SUPER! (mobile CPU i7 720QM, 8 threads at 1.6 GHz) --- ENG --- Searching a BOINC-app for my tablet - such that: It has maximum integer computations and minimal FPU computations from all those apps available for BOINC on Android. :-) Any advice, please?

Mám tablet, jehož ARM 1.0 GHz CPU má výrazně rychlejší int. a o 20 procent pomalejší hardwarové FPU (než můj ARM-CPU TAKÉ 1.0 GHz, ale v mobilu). Hledám pro něj tedy vhodnou aplikaci, která by měla co největší podíl integer výpočtů - ze všech dostupných BOINC projektů pro Android... :-) Děkuji!

	The new apps seems faster on Pentium E2200 and about as fast as the "old" app on Athlon II 240.

	The latest new SSE3 app seems about 10% faster than the old one, though I have no way of knowing whether all the work units are identical in length. My machine can now earn 320 credits per hour. ____________ The biggest threat to public safety and security is not terrorism, it is Government abuse of authority.

	Thank you. BTW: Do mobile processors ARMv7 (v7 rev.2) have *DOUBLE* precision floating point instructions in their hardware??? I am surprised! :O - they must have, otherwise it would not be efficient and no sense in making Asteroids app for them. But it clearly runs on some hardware FPU, because 1 WU on 1 GHz ARMv7.2 CPU (Snapdragon type) is completed in less than 18 hours. :-)

	Yes, when there is no new other versions of SSE, because I have have to send it to someone else for compiling.

	SSE3 ver. rocks! It completes avg.in: 53 minutes on 3GHz AMD A8-3870K 8GB DDR3 @ 2262 MHz,SSE2 in 60 minutes. 98 min. on 1.6 GHz Intel i7 720QM, SSE2 in 101 min., "Period Search Application v101.10" (no SSE) in 206.48 min. 778.5 min on 1.6 Ghz Intel "Atom N270", "Period Search Application v101.10" (no SSE) in AMAZING 2075 minutes. (Does anyone from Asteroids-at-home have "INTEL C++ compiler / ICC ver.12" to make an Atom-SSE3 optimized version, please? I cannot find any up-to-date and optimized computations for my 2 Atom devices :) ) Android-apps: 842 min. on HTC One-V, 1 Ghz Qualcomm(Snapdragon) "ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l)" 2072+ min. (computation ERROR at 85 percent!!! WU: http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/workunit.php?wuid=6094290) on "POINT OF VIEW Mobii ProTab2 IPS 9.7", CPU "Cortex A8 1.2 GHz". Please, can someone try to make a "Cortex A8 ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l)"-compatible version of the app ? I am afraid it might have no hardware-DOUBLE-PRECISION floating point instruction and it seems to emulate it really badly. But maybe there is some other way around it... ..... like a proper emulation written directly in the code? I dont know if it is possible... :-)[/url]

I cancelled those units and the next batch was SSE2 or SSE3.
