Thought the slient seti crowd we have here might like some benchmarks.
All times are average CPU times taken over the last few days
- Powermac G3 - 400 (B&W), OSX 10.2 -- 15:40
- Powermac G4 400 (Sawtooth), OSX 10.2 -- 13:15
- iMac G4 800 (the original G4 model), OSX 10.2 -- 11:09
- Athlon xp 2000 (DDR2100, CL2.5, no OCing), Debian linux -- 4:06
- Athlon xp 1800@1725MHz (DDR2700, 150MHz FSB, CL2 ram), Debian linux, windows client thru wine -- 3:16
- Athlon xp 2100@2050 or so (DDR2700, 157?MHz FSB, CL2? ram), Debian linux, windows client thru wine -- 2:56
- Athlon Thunderbird 1200 (DDR2100, CL2.5, no OCing), netboot linux, linux client -- 5:59
- Athlon xp 1800 (DDR2100, CL2.5?, no OCing), windows 2000, windows CLI client -- 3:45
- Powermac 8500 150MHz (70NS ram?, 1MB L2 cache), Debian linux, linux PPC client -- 2d:9:46 (note, it did do all seti WU in 47 hrs under macOS9)
? means I'm not sure about a setting.
There may be another imac coming here sometime soon, I'm guessing it's the new high-end, I'll try and benchmark it to see what the faster ram does compared to our current imac.
Mac side conclusions: G4 is faster then G3 with same memory (although the memory controller in the G4 is probably much better), and the imac G4 with the same memory bandwidth doesn't run a whole lot faster then the sawtooth.
PC side conclusions: Windows client is faster, memory bandwidth is great, and sub 3 hour WU are possible on a sub $400 machine.
The end

Ouch! Thanks, I think.
Another dataset that shows that if we can't have the new IBM CPU we really need to inspire someone to write an altivec version of the new S@H client.
Better yet, let's get both! <He considers the possibility for a moment and a smile flickers across his face>
BTW - my dual 150Mhz hypersparc Sun Sparcsever 20 produces 2 WU's about every 50 hrs.
Interesting to compare to the PowerMac 8500 (also at 150Mhz). The Sun box has 512k of L2 cache per processor.
The Seti crowd may be "slient" but at least we're not silent! ;-)

I put seti on the new imac 1gig, but it's not mine, and it's owner has decided he's turning the machine off when not in use. My guess is around 10-11 hrs for a WU, so I should have a result in a week or so.

8:48 for one WU on the imac G4. 1GHz, 133MHz FSB.
