[gmx-users] Benchmarks on Athlon XP or MP?

[Erik Lindahl]

Hi,

Right now gromacs always uses 3DNow assembly on Athlon processors, but
since the
newest palamino core supports SSE instructions it would be interesting
to check
which multimedia instruction set is faster on the new processors.

If you happen to have a new Athlon XP or Athlon MP machine and would be
willing to first test a couple of small binaries (to figure out how to
detect Athlon/SSE)
and then run the benchmark - drop me a line!

Regards,

Erik
