    Question What's up with the SSE2 code?

    Gang,
    I am having a problem with a single precision GPU (in a laptop). The new CPU code (sse2) seems to have a problem right at the very end of computation as well.

    Has anyone seen this? If MW is becoming a 'problem child', what is a good project to work on?


    Thanks,
    C

    MW requires a double percision GPU but that will work with Collatz. As for the CPU part, I can't tell you. I haven't run MW CPU since I started with GPUs. It just didn't seem like it was worth it. For the CPU there is a large variety depending on what you're interested in.

    Lauren, I didn't think the sse2 code was needed either.... but with the laptop being an ATI, obviously it will run the sse2 apps where it can.

    As for what do you know???? A heck of a lot!!!

    By the way, mycode is not needed. Everything can be done with newmem:
