Subject: Pentium 4 and hyperthreading (to Charles Worthington)

Hi!
I've posted some benchmark results on my PIV 3.06 earlier and your 1.33 factor
in speed up seems to be a little too optimistic. Crafty benefits most from
hyperthreading (about 20%), the usual nodes per second increase (Deep Shredder 6
and Deep Fritz 7) is about 10% at maximum. Perhaps Xeons perform better, but I
don't think the hyperthreading performance differs too much.

----- Crafty, 1 Thread -----
White(1): hash 96M
hash table memory = 96M bytes.
White(1): smpmt=0
parallel threads disabled.
White(1): bench

Total nodes: 48447803
Raw nodes per second: 1211195

SMP time-to-ply measurement: 16.000000

Regards, Steffen.

PS: The Crafty version I used was 18.6-smp from Bob's site, perhaps newer
versions are optimized for hyperthreading?
