For those interested, I have a machine capable of running the simulator if you need something tested or measured. Contact me by personal email. -Original Message- From: Henk Stokhorst [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 06, 2000 1:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:

Mersenne: Athlons on DDR MBs

2000-08-11 Thread Willmore, David (VS Central)
Hello, all. I'm curious if anyone has any preliminary performance figures for Athlon processors on the new crop of DDR MBs. If noone has any data, I guess I'll have to go out and buy one. :) Cheers, David _ Unsubscribe

All benchmarks say is that "It's good for *this* application". I've heard that it speeds up mersenne calculations on some MBs. Now, that's nice, but if it doesn't speed it up enough vs its cost. That's the question. I'm just going to hold my breath for DDR-SDRAM. Cheaper, faster, better

I only DC with my Alphas--heck, I only have *two* machines (out of 8) doing first time LL. :) Don't get me wrong, I'd like to find a new mersenne prime, but I feel the DCs are underrated in importance. And since this project is 'vote with your CPU', I am. :) Thanks for the suggestion. Ernst

If we only had some great P-1 code for the Alpha... Ernst? :) -Original Message- From: Stefan Struiker [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 09, 2000 1:43 PM To: Willmore, David (VS Central) Cc: 'Nathan Russell'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Mersenne: What's

Yeah, the manual pages are apparently offline. Will they be back online soon? I have a machine about to 'go dry' (500MHZ Alpha EV6). Help. -Original Message- From: Barry Stokes [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2000 4:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:
