Subject: Re: new DES key setup
magnum, Erik -
Thank you for testing!
There's 1.7.8.5 in CVS now, with some very minor changes over .4 - such
as for portability to ancient systems (it compiles with gcc 2.7.2.3 on
Slackware 3.x again) and addition of -Os into OPT_INLINE (even though
one has to remove it and -lcrypt when compiling on those ancient systems).
-Os appears to deal with the performance regression we saw with gcc 4.6 -
not only on x86-64/SSE2 builds, but also on several others. I was not
able to trace this to a specific -f* option nor to a parameter. For
example, these commands:
gcc -Os -Q --help=optimizers
gcc -O2 -finline-functions -Q --help=optimizers
produce identical output for me, which is consistent with gcc source
code (indeed), but not consistent with documentation, nor with actual
optimizations I am seeing in generated code (so there must be something
else that is relevant but is not shown with "-Q --help=optimizers").
Anyway, here are the new numbers for Core i7-2600K 3.4 GHz (turbo up to
3.8 GHz when only one core is in use, 3.5 GHz when all four are in use
and the CPU is not overheating), Ubuntu 11.10, "gcc version 4.6.1
(Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3)":
OpenMP, 8 threads:

Only one salt: 18284K c/s real, 2282K c/s virtual

4 threads:

(limiting the number of threads to 4 only helps with LM).

It depends on what you take for 100%. Maybe your system was under
slight other load - e.g., from GUI desktop apps such as clock, load
monitor, etc. You could run two instances of the non-OMP build in
parallel (with a script) and add their speeds up instead of merely
multiplying one instance's speed by two. Not that this matters much.
Thanks again,
Alexander
