Acovea 4.0: Analyzing GCC for AMD64 and ia32, through Evolution

The latest version of Acovea uses XML configuration files to increase
its flexibility. Using a custom benchmark suite, I tested GCC 3.4
for 32-bit Intel Pentium 4 and 64-bit AMD Opteron systems, under Linux
2.6.

http://www.coyotegulch.com/acovea/acovea_4.html

This release of Acovea includes configuration files for GCC 3.3 and 3.4
running on Opteron, Pentium 3, and Pentium 4 processors. These files can
easily be copied and modified to test other compilers, hardware platforms,
and option sets.

Acovea is an optimization tool, similar in purpose and scope to profiling.
Traditional function-level profiling identifies the algorithms most
influential in a program's performance; after those routines have been
hand-tuned, Acovea will find the compiler options and flags that generate
the fastest code.

Acovea also tests combinations of flags for pessimistic interactions,
and it stresses compiler reliability.

Released under the GPL, Acovea is free-as-in-liberty software.

Hi guys, We have a problem with Dual AMD64 Opteron/MySQL 4.0.18/Mandrake 10 for a very high volume site. We are evaluating the performance on our new server AMD64 and it seems it's slow compared to Dual Xeon/MySQL 4.0.15/RedHat8 and Dual Xeon/MySQL 4.0.18/Mandrake 10. And it seems there are zombie threads. 570 threads in 1 hour and we didn't even use JDBC connection pooling at all. These threads are supposed to be gone within 60...

Hi, I don't understand why DELL is unwilling to sell AMD64 products. Steve Felice, VP @ DELl says their is no customers demand for AMD64. Suck to be Steve. From various Linux flavors to BSD, the OS rocks on AMD64 macs. I have seen conformance test suite benhcmarks which are better on AMD64 than on f**ing Itanium. I feel this is a ridiculous policy @ DELL not to sell AMD products. Anyone in FTC listening ?

Hi, Does anyone know of an available downloader for an amd64 bit build of (a modern) python? I've done my due diligence search of python docs and mailing archives, and I'm somewhat mystified by the lack of info on this topic.

Hello, I would like to know if it is (or will) be possible to compile a VB.NET project for AMD64. Actually, I can only see informations to compile a C++ (.NET) project for AMD64, but I can't see anything about VB.NET (or C#). I have also seen the it is possible to compile a C++ (Version 6) project for AMD64. Is there the same for VB6? In fact, I will soon begin a new project, and as there are a lot of

Does anyone know if it's possible to run python as a 32 bit app on AMD64's? One of our host providers AMD Athlon 64 3000+ and we are currently using a celeron which is real slow. The problem is that this machine would be a backup for another which is 32 pentium 4. If I have to recompile/debug all the extensions etc etc for another architecture it might not seem so attractive. -not ready for 64bitly yrs- Robin Becker

Hi all I have a tricky situation that's preventing my Python/SWIG/C application from running on the Debian Etch AMD64 platform. It seems that the 'dl' module is not available on that platform. The only reason I need the 'dl' module, however, is for the values of RTLD_LAZY etc, which I use with sys.setdlopenflags() in order to make my imported SWIG module share its symbols correctly with more deeply- nested plugin modiles in my C-code...
