Is the cpu MHz output right? 800MHz? Or is it automatic PowerNow? What is the max cpu speed?
It is PowerNow. The max CPU speed is 2400MHz
I tried the benchmark with the CPU scaling_governor set to performance at which point Linux tells me that the processor is running at the full 2.4GHz and the benchmarks were basically the same. My embarrassing secret (which I revealed to Eric off the list) is that I am running debian with a 2.4.12 i686 kernel, mainly because the production system we are using is an Intel 32bit CPU and I did not want to mess with a 64bit kernel/OS just yet.***gnuradio-core/src/test/benchmakr_dotprod output: generic: taps: 256 input: 4e+07 cpu: 11.330 taps/sec: 9.038e+08 3DNow!: taps: 256 input: 4e+07 cpu: 5.095 taps/sec: 2.01e+09 SSE: taps: 256 input: 4e+07 cpu: 4.506 taps/sec: 2.272e+09Have you tried out the latest CVS code with 64bit x86-64 speedup? I'm curious what's the difference between 32bit and 64bit speedups.Note: gcc-4.x still does a good job at optimizing the generic loop.
