The speculation was correct. This version is a general release for all processors with the improvements from v2.0

Remember, install over the old client to keep your current test and username. Don't uninstall the client before upgrading.

Post your comments and benchmarks below. Thanks and enjoy. :)

Cheers,
Louie

Great news. This will be interesting.

Do the folks using the 'other' Intel P4 enhanced version need to upgrade?
How about the Dual Xeon folks? Any help, or keep running what we got?

For us AMD XP2600 types, I am getting an impressive 1,000,000+ cEMs/sec :scared: :D
As fast as one of my Xeon 3.6 logical processors.

Nice work :D

:notworthy

Good news: On an old Celeron 667MHz (Intel just couldn't admit to having a devilishly fast (slow?) processor :P)

Before: 151033 cEM/s
After: up to 178000 cEM/s! :)

Better news: The new client successfully flushed to my Queue, which successfully flushed to your server. :D

I'm going to have to try replacing PRP with SB for my smaller prime finding. Louie (or Dave), I'd still love to get permission from you to release the code that lets me do this.:Pokes:

Thanks for the great new client!:thumbs:

Any idea when the FreeBSD client will be done? I can provide several boxes for testing or compiling on versions 4.9 4.10 and 5.2.1 if nessecary. Most of my crunchers are running FreeBSD so the sooner the better please!

It's available now.

FreeBSD client is online now. All clients are now online. Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and even BeOS.

Is there an implementation of this new code for P-1's on athlonXP's?

[Vato]

Thanks for the hard work guys! Good Christmas present!

Runs sweet on 2K and XP on everything I've got from P3's, Athlons, P4's.

[IronBits]

Just and FYI... no scientific study, more of a 'first blush' ...
It appears the Windows XP is faster than Windows 2000 and SUSE 9.1 ...

Windows XP64 Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 just SCREAMS. :D

YMMV

Kudos and :cheers: to the coders for this release! :D

You might try my proxy, Death. :)

My replacement of PRP worked, too!

PII-400 running Linux testing 100000-digit numbers:
PRP time per test: 113 min
SB 2.2 time per test: 73 min!
Speedup: about 54.8%! :)

ofcourse I tried it some time ago, but think I cant use it now. just don't like java too much.

well, havin 2k3 server sp1 rc can give it another try =)) there's new version around.

but installer use sb.pns.net as server address. and a new user I suppose can't connect like me. I just did clean install and client can't connect to server :bonk:

this is not working address!

C:\Program Files\SB>ping -a sb.pns.net

Got around to updating my laptop,

AMD Athlon XP1500+ Mobile
256MB RAM
Windows 2000
Before: 200k cEM/s
After: 700k cEM/s (+250%)

I also found that by defragmenting my windows machines I've been able to get around a 200k cEM/s boost!!!
