Faster client out

A new beta client with cores optimized for OGR-NG is available at

Distributed.net beta clients

No OS/2 client yet, but many other OSes are covered. Keep checking – OS/2 clients are usually quick to follow windoze and Linux.

I just ran v2.9105.511b on a couple of my machines and the results were impressive. I got 10-15% improvement over the current stable client!

When you install the beta, make sure your DNETC.INI file is not configured to use a specific core. Run the benchmark and it will tell you which of the possible cores is the fastest:


DNETC -bench ogr-ng

Make sure you are not running any CPU hog programs or start up any apps while the benchmark is running.

Different CPUs require different cores for optimum results. Don’t assume a core that is fast on on one of your computers will be the best one for another.

Typically the default core is the fastest. If not, then you might want to configure your INI file to use the core with the fastest benchmark.

Have a good weekend, and for you folks here in the USA – Happy Independence Day!

Best regards,

Kevin
