I've currently got an exponent of the order of 20.05M running on a P4
(1.8Mhz). It has decided to run it with FFT size 1280K. It's done just
over 1M iterations (and hasn't finished Stage 2 P-1 since this only runs for
a few hours each night). If I'd of know that it was going to use this FFT
size before it started, it would have been better for me to switch it to
another processor type - since then it would have used a smaller FFT size.
If I now move the saved file to another processor type would it use a
smaller FFT size or is the FFT size hard coded into the save file or is this
a bad idea to move the saved file for other reasons?
While on the subject of FFT size where is the information stored about
which FFT size tests have been run on each machine? I ask because if this
is on the server then it would be a bad idea to reuse machine names.
Further if you upgrade Prime95 is it a good idea to get it to rerun the
tests again?
Doug.
