    Um, 28.5 just came out. Great for Haswell CPUs.

    That 0.4375 is just the kind of round off error I wouldn't worry about. BTW, what number are you testing.

    Again look at the size of the roundoff errors. 0.40625 and 0.4375 are OK, 0.4999 is really bad.

    I think a roundoff error of 0.40625 and 0.4375 may sometimes not be reproducible because there...

    Can you post the numbers that are getting roundoff errors? I'll look into whether the FFT size selection code needs a little fine tuning.

    If you are getting small reproducible roundoff error values like 0.40625 and 0.4375 then it is likely due to testing a value near the limits of what that FFT size can test. In other words, nothing...

    This is probably normal. On a Pentium 4, some FFT lengths are actually faster using FFTs optimized for the Core 2. Prime95 knows this and selects the right one accordingly. Admittedly, the "Core2...

    Your best configuration is likely to be 4 worker threads with no multi-threading. Use Test/Worker-windows to change turn off the multi-threading.

    Time it to see which is faster.

    New Prime95

    Prime95 version 26.2 is available for beta testing. See http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=13887

    It wouldn't hurt to have an SoB user or two give it a try.
