Where is the link to

[petrusbroder]

I know it is in the DC-forum somewhere - but my search strategy must be really bad because I can not find it. Can anybody help?

You got PM :evil:

Thanks - doing a test run with these clients.

But I am refering to a post here in the forums with a link to the DutchPowerCows, where they had a lot of different clients: SSE1 - SSE3, Intel, AMD, etc. I want that for my collection (i.e. I am collecting clients, test them now and then, and comment on them. I thought I would do such a post now - it is almost a year since I have done that and the programming has developed ....

You might want to ask Smoke abuot it, he was the one who once gave the DPC link to me, but I deleted his PM.

Does any one know of any SSE3 optimized clients?

 

[petrusbroder]

For linux there seem to be some - but I have not tested them yet ...
Looking for a SSE3-optimized client myself.

I read on the Einstein forums that askof (I hope I spelled that right) looked into SSE3 but found he could only get some 5 to 7% of a speed up and only on certain calculations.

So, as far as I know, there are no SSE3 available to the public.

I have read that too - and it all depends on the type of calculations performed by the app. Some would gain (if most of the calculations use SSE3) others not at all.
It is a matter of knowing which programs use what method for calculations.
OTOH: a 5 - 7% speed up is not so trivial: if you implement that on e.g. 15 cores it is an equivalent of one more core - at no cost. I think some of us would appreciate that

Edit: Oh, there are some apps and clients optimized for SSE3 for Linux, which - AFAIK - is a smaller user base than Windows ...
