OK, I see, thanks for testing. I think it is the popcount instruction that makes the most speed difference and since the Phenom II doesn't have such an instruction your results make sense.
The Phenom II does have the popcount instruction.
OK thanks for the info. In that case the following compiler flags should be better: -march=athlon64-sse3 -mpopcnt -DHAVE_CTZ -DHAVE_POPCNT

Here is a new version: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8968 ... 64-pop.exe

Thats it! (I called it A-POP)

Intel i5 2500K OS W7

1.02 x64 SEE original = 1
1.02 x64 A-POP = 0.98
1.02 x64 old original = 0.93
1.02 x64 athlon = 0.93
1.02 JA 64bit pop = 0.88

AMD Phenom 2 OS XP-64:

1.02 x64 SEE original = loads, crashing at analysis start!
1.02 x64 A-POP = 1.08
1.02. old original = 1
1.02 x64 athlon = 1.02
1.02 JA 64bit pop = 0.81

AMD 8350 (Vishara) OS XP-64

1.02 x64 SEE original = 1
1.02 x64 A-POP = 0.99
1.02. old original = 0.92
1.02 x64 athlon = 0.93
1.02 JA 64bit pop = 0.86


Actually that is that good that it should be the multi purpose (generic) x64 compile.

Thx
Ingo

PS: Still the exe is HUGE!

Pity we, 32 bits users, are more and more forgotten and almost despised :-)

Thanks a lot Peter for the update to your engine. :D

Incidentally, not sure if this was mentioned here before, but your 64-bit compile seems about 15% *faster* than JA's on my Intel 64-bit Win7 box. Wonder if other testers are experiencing the same thing.

Edit: it looks like Ingo already pointed this out.

Regards,
CL

Hello, Maestro !

Yes, IASI - the capital of the entire historic Moldavia (Moldau in German )- is a wonderful place and boycotted by the international tourism agencies ! :lol: No problem, now it is a clean, beautiful and peaceful city. Sometimes the tourists are a nuisance :lol:

YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOMED HERE !

Have a nice weekend !
