Hi Hieu, Barry and Marcin, Thank you for your replies and suggestions.
The Xeon server is completely dedicated to Moses and is running absolutely nothing else, as opposed to my Mac which is running the usual laptop background stuff like mail etc., as well as having Eclipse doing various Java stuff in the background. I re-ran the tests as Barry advised with only 4 cores and the results were training: 41:56 tuning: 28:16 decoding: 01:36 Total 01:08:17 Therefore 18 minutes slower than the best time on the Xeon with 6 cores (50:01 minutes). Regarding Marcin's suggestion, here are the individual moses-training process' timings: MacBook Pro 4 Threads i7 3720QM 8Gb RAM SSD mkls 17:39:16 17:39:49 00:00:33 snt2cooc.out 17:39:50 17:39:52 00:00:02 mgiza 17:39:52 17:45:47 00:05:55 snt2cooc.out 17:45:47 17:45:50 00:00:03 mgiza 17:45:50 17:53:20 00:07:30 giza2bal.pl 17:53:21 17:53:23 00:00:02 extract 17:53:25 17:53:31 00:00:06 score 17:53:31 17:53:41 00:00:10 lexical-reordering 17:53:41 17:53:45 00:00:04 Total 00:14:25 Using 6 Threads Xeon E5-1650v2 128GB RAM SATA using 28GB RAMDISK mkls 19:31:07 19:35:43 00:04:36 snt2cooc.out 19:35:43 19:36:05 00:00:22 mgiza 19:36:05 19:49:47 00:13:42 snt2cooc.out 19:49:47 19:50:12 00:00:25 mgiza 19:50:12 20:04:09 00:13:57 giza2bal.pl 20:04:09 20:04:31 00:00:22 extract 20:04:31 20:05:19 00:00:48 score 20:05:19 20:07:00 00:01:41 lexical-reordering 20:07:00 20:07:01 00:00:01 Total 00:35:54 As you can see the culprit are mkls and mgiza.
