New features in Version 26.6 of prime95.exe:

1. For rare cases where the program cannot figure out the number of cores and hyperthreading, the NumPhysicalCores option may help. See undoc.txt.
2. Faster FFT implementations are now selected for Core 2 CPUs with 1MB L2 cache or less (marketed under the Celeron and Pentium label).
3. New, slightly higher, trial factoring breakeven points.

Bug fixes:

• Occasionally, P-1 stage 2 would report 100% complete before stage 2 completed. This bug has been around forever. I've finally found the cause! Fixed in 26.5 build 2.
• Worktodo.txt was not updated properly when P-1 completed for a PRP test. Fixed in 26.5 build 3.
• In 26.5 build 3, when benchmarking and measuring CPU speed the program will keep all cores busy by launching auxiliary threads that loop indefinitely. This should prevent Intel Turbo boost from kicking in. This should prevent cases where the CPU speed is reported as 1.87 GHz, yet a benchmark reports very fast timings because the CPU core has been boosted to 3.2 GHz because only one core is active.
• In 26.5 build 3, the OS's mapping of hyperthreaded logical CPU numbers to physical CPUs is determined automatically at startup. The AffinityScramble setting (see undoc.txt) is no longer supported. It is replaced by the AffinityScramble2 setting.
• In 26.5 build 3, the message "set affinity to run on any cpu" instead listed all the CPU numbers and as well as CPU #31. Fixed in build 4.
• In 26.5 build 3 and 4, benchmarking a dual-core non-SSE2 machine will crash. Fixed in build 5.
• KeepPminus1SaveFiles=0 option described in undoc.txt did not work when a factor was found. Fixed in 26.6.
• The 32K,64K,80K length FFTs with sumout checking for Pentium 4's with 256K or less cache were not implemented. Symptom is a torture test failure. Fixed in 26.6.
• Prime95 does not load on Sandy Bridge CPUs running Win XP. I've got a trial fix in 26.6.
• Prime95 chooses very inefficient FFT implementations for Core 2 Celerons (they have 512K L2 cache). Working on a fix for for 26.6.
• Logical CPU numbers were sometimes output zero-based and sometimes one-based. In 26.6, they are all one-based.

Kanotix kann als LIVE-CD nahezu auf jedes Gerät - ohne eine vorherige Treiber-Installation - zugreifen. Auf der Festplatte ist es in wenigen Minuten installiert und als Desktop auf der Workstation, dem Notebook oder als Server ideal.

Der RC1 ist dazu gedacht, um letzte, noch nicht entdeckte Bugs zu finden und bringt leider einen Bug mit:

"Das update-install produziert eine falsche Zeile in /etc/fstab um CDs automatisch zu mounten. Bitte dieses Script als Fix verwenden."

* Kernel 2.6.17.13 mit vielen Patches
* ACPI und DMA sind aktiviert als Default (kann mittels acpi=off und nodma deaktiviert werden)
* i586 Optimierung - nicht für ältere CPUs!
* 192 MB RAM nötig, 256 MB RAM empfohlen
* Unionfs Support (mit unionfs - cheatcode)
* NTFS-3g Support
* AVM Fritz!Card DSL Support
* KDE 3.5.4
* ALSA 1.0.11rc4
* GRUB Bootlader - ideal für Rescue im Command Line Mode
* Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool im Extramenü des Bootloaders

Dabei gibt es eine 32-Bit Lite-Version mit Koffice 1.4.2 und eine Full-Version mit OpenOffice 2.0.0-5.

Highlights dieser Version:

* Kernel 2.6.14.5 mit vielen Patches

* udev 0.079-1 und neuer Hardware Erkennung (hwsetup-ng) - keine kudzu basiertere Erkennung mehr. Nachteil: ISA PnP wird nicht mehr erkannt. Für nicht erkannte Soundkarten alsaconf nehmen

* neuer graphischer Installer mit Updatefunktion

* sysv-freeze - verhindert die Aktivierung von Services bei einem dist-upgrade. Zum Aktivieren eines Services unfreeze-rc.d; rcconf; freeze-rc.d oder unfreeze-rc.d; update-rc.d; freeze-rc.d verwenden

* ACPI and DMA sind aktiviert per default (kann per Cheatcode acpi=off or nodma deaktiviert werden), siehe auch Bootoptionen (Cheatcodes)

* Kernel optimiert für moderne CPU's - i586 und x86-64

* X-Org 6.8.2 für die volle Unterstützung von NVIDIA- und ATI-Grafikkarten (für User mit Nvidia ist jederzeit per dist-upgrade die Nutzung von X-Org 6.9.0 möglich)

* KDE 3.4.3

* Firefox 1.5

* OpenOffice 2.0.0-5 (nicht in den LITE-Versionen enthalten)

* Unionfs-Unterstützung (mit Cheatcode unionfs)

* AVM Fritz!Card DSL-Unterstützung

* Eagle USB DSL-Unterstützung

* Captive 1.1.5 (nicht fur 64 Bit)

* Alsa 1.0.10rc1

* AMSN 0.95 Instant-Messenger mit voller Video-Unterstützung (ohne Sound)

* Grub Boot-Loader für den Start von CD - ideal auch für Rettungsversuche von der Kommandozeile

* Memtest86+ ein erweitertes Diagnose-Werkzeug für den PC-Speicher

* minimale Hardwareanforderungen - 128 MB RAM für 32 Bit, 256 MB RAM für 64 Bit, 3-4 GB Fesplatte für eine Installation

* Besonderheiten: Netzwerkkarten werden per HD install umbenannt und gruppiert zu lanX, wirelessX und firewireX, jedoch nicht bei einem update-install. Hier kann man fix-udev-lan manuell verwenden.

So hat Rightmark eine neue Version 3.58 ihres Memory-Test Programms RightMark Memory Analyzer veröffentlicht. Rightmark ist den Planet 3DNow! Lesern vorwiegend wegen ihres Audiotesters Rightmark Audio Analyzer ein Begriff, der in unseren Mainboard-Reviews Verwendung findet. Nun gibt's also weiteres Futter für die Overclocker und Systemintegratoren, die Stabilität ihres Systems auf die Probe zu stellen.
