Subject: RE: DES with OpenMP
to quote myself:
> In the meanwhile my curiosity has peaked as to why the openMP version is producing ~250 to 300k c/s over the standard non-omp client (4750k c/s vs 4450-4500k c/s). Several things being equal (no-asm for both, icc for both, non-hardware optimizations for both, a value of 1 for des_bs_cpt for both, definite use of just 1 thread for both) there are still 300k in favor of openMP which, normally, it should be slower than the non-omp version.

My rationale is that if the non-omp version is running with at least the same parameters of the omp version, then the non-omp could be slightly faster than the omp-version (I'm always talking about 1 thread) perhaps exceeding 4.8-4.9m c/s instead of being near the 4.5m mark.

icc -fast -msse2 / make clean linux-x86-64 (des_bs_cpt=1) / test @4ghz - no x.org.
1.7.9-j5 omp 1 thread
des: 4770/4482 (+0.42% / + 0.20%)
lm: 49211
1.7.9 omp 1 thread
des: 4750/4473
lm: 54787 (+11.33%)
1.7.9 omp 2 thread
des: 9366/8579
lm: 73654 (+9.98%)
1.7.9-j5 omp 2 thread
des: 9410*/8601* (+0.46% / + 0.25%)
lm: 66972
* breaking the 9.4m/8.6m marks for the first time on two threads.
Is this minor difference in DES (and larger negative impact in LM) down to a different resulting code due to the extra stuff, parameters etc, or are there any underlying changes like altered setting / coding differences between 1.7.9 and j5 regarding the cracking procedure itself?
By the way in both 1.7.9 and jumbo, when I run with omp_num_threads=2, the program runs with a nice set to 0 by default. When threads=1, nice goes to 19. (Bug?)
