Processor GFlops Compilation

Thank you .
I can push a tad more out of it but need get get below ambient temps to do it . 4.5GHz was the best but not stable with current cooling .

 

That is my point, you said 60.60 / 8 = 15.15 per thread, it should be 50.60 / 4 = 12.65. The correct score for the 4 threads w/out HT is 50.60, you used 60.60, and you are dividing by 4 threads but you put 8.

When you said you were dividing by threads, since you put 8 in your equation, I assumed you meant to use the 8 threads w/out HT score.

I think HT is better for applications that handle a lot of different data. But in an application that purely crunches large numbers, HT hurts more than helps. I wonder if this would lead to better F@H numbers with HT off...

 

Yeah, I know, I'm not blaming you, just clarifying.

I believe, in theory, no core is more real than the other as it appears to Windows. It is just that each physical core can handle 2 threads, so each thread isn't more real than the other. So work sent to each thread is automatically handled by the physical core's scheduler.

 

Yeah, I can see that as a concern for sure.

Though I think the scheduler on the CPU is smart enough to assign threads to unused cores first, which is why when I run it with only 4 threads w/ HT enabled I get pretty close to the same score as I get with HT disabled.

 

from what i understood about HT is that each single thread called by software gets divided by the thread dispatcher on core into two if HT is enabled so if software calls for 2 treads it gets divided by four

 

Just FYI I ran my 860 at the same clock as your 875k to make a comparison.



The first run was with HT and 8 hardware threads with 4 software threads selected in iBurn / OS. It seems clear that 2 software threads are running on one core at times judging by the results.

The second run was with HT and 8 hardware threads with 4 software threads selected by me so as to only have one software thread per core. Results speak for themselves.

Mussels makes a very valid point about HT, that is poor or random hardware thread selection can possibly result in a performance degrade with HT.

A single software thread may run on 1 hardware thread and then after a context switch run on another hardware thread but not both hardware threads at the same time.

it would seem you have an justified complaint about HT then mussels maybe the results suggest then to just turn HT off and do without it as it looks like it's faster without than with

 

well i just did a little test to see what would happen if i forced 4 threads on my Athlon x2 7750BE vs forcing only 2 threads

4 threads


2 threads


and yes I know AMD's don't have HT but look at the 4 thread results it starts out with an hiss and a roar then slows down considerably vs the 2 thread result which stay relatively static

 

Table Updated.

Yes, in this single benchmark only, but in many other real world uses HT does help significantly.

 

I'd test it in other places if I could but not being an Intel quad or better with HT owner/user I can't

These are my new results. I recently upgraded to a Corsair H50 cooler and moved my i5 from 3.3GHz to 3.6GHz. My old numbers were 045.21908 gflops and 13.70275 gflop/GHz

here is what I am running @ now Hyperthreading is off!!

 

I think ya need to add some tables there mon. Like this:
