Subject: Suggestions for XEON performance?
Hello,
I am a little surprised with the performance of john on the XEON
(proc/cpuinfo is attached at the bottom) and linux. I guess I expected
the performance to be much better on the XEON than it is. Maybe I am
doing something wrong with my compilation. Does anyone have any
reccomendations for which target to build? I have been using
linux-x86-mmx-elf. The gentoo safe cflags wiki lists a few
optimizations for the gcc on the XEON but they made it a little
slower:
CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -pipe"
Were my expectations too high for the XEON? Also should I use gcc 3.4
or 4.0? john is works wonderfully and is definitely fast enough I was
just under the impression that I was going to see a bigger speed
boost...
Thanks a lot...
