Because Vincent was talking about "clock for clock" and Eugene >chose to supply real data rather than barking up a hollow tree... Latest itanium compiler 1.5Ghz 6MB L3. Compiler used from 2004. base score : 1241 Note this is the HP compiler which hardly anyone uses. No one in government is. They all use the way slower intel compiler. The supercomputers of the government aren't HP ones. HP isn't delivering big enough systems. But even then. Let's compare this 6 instructions a cycle Itanium2 with crafty at K7 a 32 bits doing 3 instructions a cycle max: http://www.spec.org/osg/cpu2000/results/res2003q2/cpu2000-20030505-02154.html K7 at 2.2Ghz getting: 1324 So after concluding that itanium is hell of a lot slower than K7, we can look to the IPC. The 6 instructions a clock from the itanium2 @ 64 bits delivers : 1241/1324 * 2.2Ghz/1.5Ghz = 37% faster speed So years of work at compiler still didn't improve much from my 33% statement that the 4 instructions a clock 21264 1Ghz delivered a few years ago. So the move from 32 bits to 64 bits can not have contributed more than a few % of speed to crafty. Best regards, Vincent
