For the curious, these are just x.09 Apps re-released to get the screensaver working again.

official einsteinbinary ABP1 x.10 Apps

Quote:

Just curious... On my Mac, it seems ABP1 5.10 performed worse than 5.09, with the former averaging around 17,000 sec per WU compared to the latter of 16,000 to 16,500 sec per WU.

Any ideas...?


The runtime difference is in the order of 2,5% - We expect 5% to be normal fluctuation due to e.g. other processes on the same machine. There are some parts in the code where the runtime depends on the data being analyzed (e.g. the number of candidates found that pass a certain threshold), so not all workunits run exactly the same time. The science application binary is identical between these two versions, there's not a single Bit that's different.

If there really is a difference in runtime, it's purely accidental coincidence with e.g. properties of the data, or maybe a background process on your machine.
