I have no idea of how many operations are included in each of those
reports.  113 milliseconds for an integer operation would be completely
unacceptable as this is only 9 integer operations per second.  I expect
that this is the time to run some number of integer operations.  I have no
idea if the count of floating operations for the test is the same as that
for the integer test.

You guys I tested how long takes +,-,*, / of 1.000.000 INT and 1.000.000 of
DOUBLES on JME with this program - test on your phone too *please* !

http://java.wmhelp.cz/Downloads/SpeedTester.zip

My times for Nokia e60 (200+ MHz) are:

INTs: 113, 158, 162, 416 ms
DOUBLEs: 969, 1012, 823, 876 ms

As we can ALL see, working with DOUBLEs is NOT 100x - 1000x times slower
damn!

2009/10/28, Lynn W. Taylor <[email protected]>:
  Significant computing power is increasingly becoming a throw-away
  commodity.

  ... and with video being pushed to phones, I'd expect next year's phones
  to have significant CPU power.

  I don't think time matters, except that in order for a phone to complete
  a (2 or 3 year??) CPDN work unit, it has to survive 2 to 3 years.

   ...

   With no FPU, the increase in time is on the order of times 1000.  Which
   would mean that the crunch times would have to be reduced by 1000, or
   the
   deadline would have to be increased by a factor of 1000. �...@h for
   example
   would have to increase the deadlines from one month to 100 years.  Or
   the
   data span would have to be reduced from 115 seconds of data to 0.1
   seconds
   of data (the overlap is currently 15 seconds of data).

   Integer only projects such as (possibly) prime grid do not suffer from
   this
   problem.

   Non-CPU intensive projects also do not suffer from the problem.

   You should look to those types of projects for possibilities.

   OK, for the 3rd time:

   "2. There will be absolutely need for different and smaller units so it
   may
   be counted in few hours / days on typical phone / PDA"

   2009/10/28, [email protected] <[email protected]>:
     CPDN has long deadlines because it has correspondingly long crunch
     times.
     An 800 MHz computer with an FPU (and CPDN uses the FPU) takes well in
     excess of 9 months to crunch the data running 24/7.  A 600 MHz device
   with
     no FPU will not finish within the lifetime of the phone - even running
     24/7.

     Will this always be true?  I cannot be certain - ever is an awfully
     long
     time.

     Deadlines vaguely track crunch times on most projects.  Long deadlines
     usually have correspondingly long

     1. Some projects has LONG deadlines - Climate for example.
     2. There will be absolutely need for different and smaller units so it
   may
     be counted in few hours / days.

     2009/10/28, [email protected] <[email protected]>:
      When you are not using the keypad and the phone is not active, the
      processor is probably running at about 6 MHz.  With no FPU.

      I keep thinking that there are a lot of cell phones out there, and a
   lot
      of untapped potential.

      The one in my pocket (Palm Pre) is running some variant of the ARM
      processor at something like 600 MHz, which is a nontrivial amount of
   CPU.
      Palm goofed on the battery (I can go two days, tops), but the rest of
      the phone, including WebOS, is pretty cool.

      Cell phones as a group are probably second only to smart cards in the
      total number of available clock cycles.
