CASP5 Protein #2 Benchmarks

[MAD-ness]

Now that the protein change-over has occured, I figured it is time to start a thread where benchmarks for this protein can be submitted.

If someone feels like doing something fancy with benchmarks, it would be greatly appreciated but until they do, I will collect them by hand and toss them up on a page. Here is a sample from the last protein:

http://www.geocities.com/m4dn3ss2000...ultsTable.html

You might get pop-ups or other annoying crap there, I am not sure.

I will try to get the benchmarks for this protein up before the end of the week and I should be able to put them at www.teamstirfry.com so that you don't have to deal with Yahoo/GeoShitties.

Please run the new protein for several hours (atleast two or so) and preferably run it overnight and submit them tommorow.

Please include information from your system that the benchmark script might not include, such as processor model (especially with P3s and Celerons in different models), cache size and fsb (if these vary for a particular CPU, like the aforementioned P3 lines).

Thanks.

Here are the submitted entries in a chart:

http://www.geocities.com/m4dn3ss2000/CASP5Protein2.html

I guessed on the Duron cache size since I can't remember and I might have goofed a few other details on architectures, as always, when I had to guess (or was just brain-dead).

Could definitely use some more submissions.

Gonna see if I can talk jdhaenens into running his again, he has interesting hardware but his sample set was relatively small (maybe an hour or so of run time) and if I am going to manually enter this data for the moment, I wanna make sure it is pretty accurate.

Anyone have anything interesting to submit that isn't really "covered" by benches already submitted?

A highly overclocked P4, a highly overclocked AthlonXP, a couple Tbirds, a classic Athlon or two, and a tualatin P3 would all be nice. Haven't seen the ubiquitous Celeron300a @ 450 yet either on this protein.

Thanks for the extra submissions guys. Some interesting boxen there.

The G4s seem to do about the same per/cycle as the P3 just from glancing at the submitted benchmarks. The Macs don't scale to the same sort of frequencies as the K7 and the P4 cored chips, but considering how poorly the Macs do on some DC projects, those results don't look too bad to me. Not like RC5 results on them, of course, but not horrible either.

If my DSL stays up tonight I will add these submissions to the page as well as trying to get the page put up on a 'real' web site. I just added in my 3 machines and with the ones just submitted that should give us ~20 for this protein.

ok, added in new benchmarks.

Forgot to add in jdhaeden's laptop and I think someone at Ars posted a K6-3 bench and I have had my celeron266 running for 24 hours, but oh well, next protein I will grab all them, the info is here for anyone who is really interested anyways.

Fastest bench submitted here was MashRinx's P4 2.2ghz Northwood.

Collin's two heavily overclocked AMD CPUs had great results though. I don't know if I got the stock fsb/multiplier info right on those cpus though Collin. I guessed on the XP1500+ frequency since it is one of the XP models I do not know in terms of frequency. I assumed that you left the multipliers locked and went for straight FSB overclocking.

The processors that have "(1)" or "(2)" in the Processor name were the first and second cpus of duallies. This isn't the most efficient way of doing this, but I thought the info on how the second cpu performs (reallly close to the first CPU and not much slower than a single CPU set-up) would be useful.

http://www.geocities.com/m4dn3ss2000/CASP5Protein2.html

I have sent off the file to pointwood and we will be getting it up on www.teamstirfry.com but I don't know jack about HTML or any other web nonsense (or computers in general) so I don't know exactly how long it will take for us to play email tag over about 10 timezones and get it set up.

Thanks for the submissions, I will try to get it up faster next week, I had a ton of real life issues this week not to mention no internet access for a while.

Hey, thanks, MAD-ness! You're doing a good service here.

I've already made a couple of changes based on the numbers I've seen and just from the exercise of running the numbers on my own boxen. Very helpful.

Also toots on the horn for Dyyryath for the Perl script and Digital Parasite for dfGUI, so we can get these measurements to begin with!

Hey MAD-ness, would you like some lower level Benchmarks too? I have a few slower machines set up in a closet at home that are crunching away. P2-233's, my wife's using a P2-400, etc.

Also, at work I'm running on a couple P3-XEONs. I dont know if there's been talk in the past on wether the extra cache makes a different (I haven't been around D.C. much in a while), bu I could submit those if it would help too....

MashRinx (Kevin)

[MAD-ness]

Actually, MashRinx, I would LOVE all of those benchmarks if at all possible.

Someone has asked me about P1/P1MMX CPUs and I only have a P1 200mhz here that I have access to (and keep forgetting to benchmark).

If I ever figure out what chipset this Celeron266 box I was given has, I will hopefully be able to update it to some sort of P2, so low end P2 numbers would help me personally.

A lot of people have access to older machines but are not sure if it is worth the effort to set them up. Since DF is pretty much a frequency dependent program, my opinion so far is that if the machines are already running, it is definitely worthwhile. Unlike SETI, for example, you aren't going to murder your average WU time and the production scales pretty well backwards through architectures (i.e. the performance scales per clock cycle in both directions, reasonably well). Data to confirm this would be great.

The Xeons...yum. Would really like to see those large cache chips in action. =)

[MashRinx]

Unfortunately, I can only use these machines for DF until later tonight. This is a mojor DB application used by our company, and there's NO way I am going to run D.C. on these boxes after we get everything up and running, and that will happen early tomorrow AM..... At least I was able to "burn them in" over the weekend, and get some good benchmarks too.....

Hello MAD-ness,

Nice idea by the way.

I thought I'd put it on my home PC's but came up against several problems. Two of them gave values over 500 000 per day ! I believe you have seen this before and know how to correct them ..please advise so I can test them again.

Another gave a result which looks suspiciously large :-

This machine keeps losing DF ! It runs and then when I next look at it it is not there. No error it just stops ???!!!!

One of the machines that gives too large a result is actually the same as the 1333@1400 mentioned above, same chip and same operating system, however it differs in the RAM it has, one has DDR and one has SDRAM. IF I can get that working fine it will be nice to see the difference DDR RAM has on ouput.

I got home today and noticed my main machine had not crapped out on me for once and had lasted all day and managed to get over 1 protein run per second !



I'm running this at a FSB of 145. Interestingly there is a result on the first page where someone reaches this sort of speed with 200MHz or so less, but they are running at a FSB of 150 !

From all the results generated does it show that FSB has a large effect on the speed of production ?

I still need to get my DDR and SDRAM boards not to give erronous values so I can see the difference this makes.

The DF client primarily requires clock cycles. It spends most of its time traversing a "tree-like" structure...doing pointer traversals. Both of the previous statements are paraphrasings of things Howard has stated. The Alpha is the king of performance in DF, per clock cycle, but this doesn't really say much, as the Alpha seems to be the per clock cycle performance leader in just about any app which is (well) written for it.

One thing that I noticed with the last set of benchmarks is that a large L2 does not seem to make much difference.

I have noticed a big performance boost for people with higher FSB speeds (if you have a choice between raising the multiplier or the FSB speed it seems like a no-brainer for almost any app to up the FSB) but the highest submitted FSB speeds on AthlonXP CPUs with DDR SDRAM don't appear to be the highest submitted scores on CPUs in that frequency range.

I would speculate that memory timings and latencies make a significant difference, but I don't really have any solid evidence to back this up. The P4 seems to do quite well regardless of the memory architecture or speed in use.

I haven't and won't be able to collect any benches for the current protein because I have no internet connection currently, but if people post them I will, of course, add them to a page at a later date and incorporate them into whatever database I get set up eventually.
