[gmx-users] Pentium IV timings

[Erik Lindahl]

Hi,

Just thought we'd share some initial pentium IV timings with you,
and compare it to pentium III.

We've been running the DPPC benchmark system and get 80%
better performance on a 1.7GHz pentium IV compared to an 800MHz
pentium III (133 MHz bus).

The pentium IV clock is 113% higher and it is thus considerably
slower "per MHz", but that's expected due to the increased
pipeline length in the P4.

Cheers,

Erik
