It's been confirmed that the 90 nanometer Prescott P4 will have not only 1MB
of L2 cache but 16KB of L1 data cache. Can Prime95 be tuned for the latter
as well as for the former? The Northwood and the Willamette both had 8KB of
L1 data cache.

being told that Prime95 wouldn't experience any gains from taking it into
account. Glad to see I was right all along. ;-)

the details of FFTs; if they're a completely
serial process I may sound really silly.
SMT will provide a performance boost to Prime95
anyways, as other system activity will impact
idle threads less, of course.

So, will the Pentium 4 Northwood core (with 512KB L2 cache as
compared to the current Willamette's 256KB L2 cache) perform
even better on Prime95? Will there be a setting to tell Prime95
that a Willamette or Northwood core is specifically being used
(as opposed to just
was my first program, so I needed to remember what I was
doing). I am quite confident now that it will hash all files of arbitrary
length correctly. It is GPLed, so enjoy. The commandline options it
supports are pretty powerful.

ts, we might get a lot out of it.
Hmmm, that is a good idea. I will try to remember to design a little poster
on a sheet of paper and post some copies around campus before 3rd term
starts at Caltech.

-733 inside it, AND a
hard drive, and a built-in broadband connection. All that would be required
is the ability to run arbitrary code from the hard drive, and poof, you have
something like a million potential boxes on which to run Prime95.

increased startup speed. Although I don't think Prime95 can be run this way
(it needs local copies, no?).

aller executable, it too becomes smaller: from 405953 bytes to 299756
bytes. This makes the download go quicker for everyone, which especially
matters to modem users, but is nice even for people with fast connections.
Awesome.
