This is too slow

[Antariy]

that way, you know that Michael's timing macro will work on the machine
i assume that Alex's code verifies that

Yes, I check for presence of the CPUID. All other code of CPUid routine is i386.

About restoring of the affinity - I'm not sure that this should be done, since program will exit. Just setting affinity as in start of piece, and no restoring after all tests.

look carefully and see what I mean.

Well, I'm not insert algos about a week - just not seen that Manager is appreciated, or worth for efforts - no feedback - no bothering  :green2

I would like to know where to put the :


At the same start of the program.

no - the program will not exit
it simply allows use of all cores during execution of the rest of the TestBed code

Michael's macros use RDTSC
if it is executed on a machine that does not support RDTSC, it will hang

RDTSC support may be verified by reading

CPUID with EAX = 1
EDX, bit 4

no - the program will not exit
it simply allows use of all cores during execution of the rest of the TestBed code

Michael's macros use RDTSC
if it is executed on a machine that does not support RDTSC, it will hang

The program will run forever? :P No, after all it will exit, and running of post-testing code would be possible for power of one code  :lol

I honestly hope, that nobody will run the TestBed on i486 machine :green2

I told you that your manager will be the standard. I don't care about too much feed-back, and we had
already a lot of feed-back.
Dave is giving us a lot of feed-back, and others have done as well: oex, ramguru, Michaelw, clive, GregL
Hutch, jj2007 and so on.

I'll leave the Tesbed as it is in your hands. Modify the Manager, and leave the columns as they are,
eliminate those rows about "advertisement", and make any optimization you want.

I'll take back control of Testbed in about 2 weeks. During this time do whatever you like with it.  :lol

Pentium has it, AFAIK

...feedback not about manager :lol

Why did you dislike the "advertisement" strings? The is very funny, in style of modern world :green2

I didn't. Read what I posted.  :U

Ask Dave what he thinks about advertisement. I'm preparing the luggage, because tomorrow I have a flight
to catch. No Testbed development for about 2 weeks. Have a nice optimization trip with Dave. I think he
could be a good advisor.  :P But don't believe everything he says.  :lol

[Antariy]

Ask Dave what he thinks about advertisement.

Dave, what you think about Manager's default description for the non-existent algos? Did you run it? Then you shoud see image as in the TV  :bg

[dedndave]

yes - i was waiting to hear...
"Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Meyer hot dog
for that is truly what I want to be......."


listen guys....
CPUID, RDTSC, affinity....
i am just giving my best knowledge and info
you can use it or ignore it   :bg

there are other ways to acquire more stable result numbers
but, if you are not interested in the basics, i know you won't be interested in those

[Antariy]

yes - i was waiting to hear...
"Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Meyer hot dog
for that is truly what I want to be......."

So, it is quite useful as description, or it is annoying? Second is preferable, and if it is - the it will be that  :green2

In other words he thinks you can throw that rubbish where you like, but not in the Testbed.  :lol
