How to benchmark DPAD on your rig

Its taken me weeks to find something that'll actually log some pts/time score for DPAD easily ,so I thought I'd share the info as it doesn't seem to be widely known around here.

MC is good for giving quite a lot of info but doesn't log times AFAIK.
You can manually record pts time but that requires a decent memory 😱😉

Anyway the tool to use is muonbench1

This is how to use it (taken from here )

How do I use the Muon1Bench.exe program?

First, make sure sample files downloading is switched off in config.txt. Then put the program in your Muon1 directory (same place as muon1.exe) and simply start and leave it running while Muon1 is working.
[edit] It will start off showing 'No change in file size' ,that's normal

It will produce a file BenchCSV.log which has three columns: one logging the time in seconds, the second showing the number of new Mpts Muon1 has produced and the third showing a running estimate of the speed in units of kpts/sec (1000?kpts = 1?Mpts). Once you've run it for a day or so (enough for the estimate to be stable), post your results to the benchmarking thread in the forum.

Benchmarking thread at DPADs forum

Again thanks to Silverthorne for the info 🙂

My XPM 2500 @2.5GHz does 262 Kpts/s
Early results show my Semp 3100 @2.39GHz does 285 Kpts/s! (faster than my main rig lol)

So how about the rest of ya? 🙂
 
My P4 3.0c@3690 does 326.077.
XP 2000@1670 does 182.024.
Celeron 2.6@2600 does 170.157.
XP 2400M@2293 does 255.83.
XP 3000M@2363 does 261.168
P4 2.8E@3220 does 266.475.
P4 2.8c@3361 does 270.156.

I was trying to figure out which machine I was going to give to someone and it looks like the Celeron will be going. 🙂
 
Lol ,yea those old willamette based Celerons weren't the best of products 😛😉

Nice score from the P4 @3.7GHz 😀

I wish I could benchmark my mates Opteron 146 @2.85GHz!

My Semprons final score is 286 Kpts/s
I've just realised that's faster than your P4's @ ~3.3GHz!:Q

Anyone else?
 
Damn. I didn't see that it had to be ran for a day. I was hoping for instant results. 🙂 Oh well. I'll be using this to settle the debate about who's machine is better, me or my wife's. Because mine doesn't even have a chance in the graphic area (6800 vs 7800)...

Guess I'll check this tomorrow.

EDIT: First result got returned... 416535,3982302.7,355.46


 
Well 12hrs is enough ,but yes it takes a while😉

Hmm ,I should have my results for my Semp 3100 @2.51GHz now.....
Yep ,301 ktps/s 🙂

So what are your 2 rigs?

I'm guessing you are inquiring about specs...
My machine (Fullmetal Chocobo):
Enermax FS2300 23-bay case
dual Seasonic PSUs (600w & 500w)
Supermicro X5DAE mobo
dual Xeon 2.66 w/ HT
2GB PC2100 DDR (512mbx4)
Broadcom BC4852 RAID controller
6xHitachi 250gb hds (RAID 5)
2xHitachi 160gb hds (RAID 0)
other stuff...

Wife' machine (currently unnamed)
CoolerMaster Centurion 4-5.25" bay case
Seasonic 430w PSU
Asus A8N-E mobo
AMD Opteron 148
2GB Corsair Platinum PC3200 DDR (1gbx2)
Western Digital 74gb Raptor

Both machines have a Kingwin IDE hot-swap bay with two WD 120's so that I can transfer disk back and forth between machines. This was before I realized that the gigabit upgrade to the network would allow me to transfer 5 gigs in 2.25 minutes. Oh well though. It's useful to have.
 
Yea I meant PC specs

I think it'll be close ,will be interesting to see ,keep us posted 🙂

Have you got 4 instances of DPAD running on your Dual Xeon HTs?
 
dual Xeon 2.66 w/ HT = 380.04

And that is one instance of DPAD running, utilizing all four logical processors. Yeah 'auto'. 🙂

EDIT: I'll have to see how it does with running four instances with set to 1...
 
That mobo is an M7VIG 400 Biostar. It's OK, but not an overclocker for sure!

Currently, I have this herd;

1- P2 400
3- Xp1600
1- Xp1700
2- Xp2200
1- Xp2600

Don't like AMD, do I? 😉
 
Yea ya Intel fanboy 😉

😀

Fullmetal Chocobo
I could be wrong but I think it would be more productive if you ran 4 instances (assuming you have enough RAM) ,certainly 2 I would of thought anyway.

Maybe you should ask in that DPAD thread ,& also how they tallie up there scores on duallies.?

Meh. It came out to like 400. But it didn't like running it like that at all. I'm now running one thread, with # of threads set to 'auto'. It works, and is much more stable it seems.
 
it's actually not really any faster to run 4 instances, and it's more efficient to just run one client with multiple threads 😉

and if those are your benchmarks, it looks like it's factoring in an import of sample results and counting those as well 😛 (notice the insanely high numbers and how fast they're dropping off?)

You are right. Somehow it got turned back on. Not sure how, as I'm sure I had that disabled. I'll have it run again when my wife is done playing Guild Wars...

Oh well ,that answers that about multiple instances!

So what's your latest scores?
Click to expand...

Currently 365, but I need to reset. So I usually get 360 - 380 on this machine.
 
Opteron 170 @ 2600, 2GB

I got 545.62, but I left zone alarm on, so it hung on the results upload after 9.5 hrs.

Gonna try it again

Edit, looks like about 587 after 17.18 hours.

What was the latest score you managed to get on the Opteron 148?
Click to expand...

Currently 332, after OCing the Opty 148 from 2.2GHz to 2.62GHz. And I'm still crunching DPAD while she isn't here. hehehe. When she gets back, her machine will go back to crunching SETI.
