SiSoftware Sandra 2017 SP4 24.57 mit Spectre und Meltdown Prüfung wurde gerade veröffentlicht und kann jetzt von unserem Server runtergeladen werden :thumb:


- Reporting of Operating System (Windows) speculation control settings for the recently discovered vulnerabilities:
BTI (Branch Target Injection) aka ‘Spectre’
RDCL (Rogue Data Cache Load) aka ‘Meltdown’

- Reporting of latest CPU microcode update availability
Hardware mitigation for BTI/’Spectre’
       
- Reporting of CPU features for branch control
Hardware enumeration and control for indirect branch control mechanisms
       
- Reporting of CPU support for Context ID / Indirect CID
Hardware acceleration for context switching thus mitigating performance loss when KVA (Kernel’s Virtual Address) Shadowing is enabled.
       
In preliminary benchmarking, we have observed no/very minor performance impact to CPU, GPGPU and memory scores; disk performance for small transfers is impacted when KVA shadowing is enabled.

SiSoftware Sandra 2017 SP3 24.50 mit besserem AMD Ryzen Support wurde gerade veröffentlicht und kann jetzt von unserem Server runtergeladen werden :thumb:


- Fix start-up crash with non-AVX older systems (both x86 and x64)
- Tools update allowing further optimisations to AVX512 benchmarks
- Other hardware information fixes depending on APIC ID configuration
 AMD Ryzen 5 – L3 cache detection 4x not 2x
 AMD Ryzen 3 – detected as SMP

SiSoftware Sandra 2017 SP2 24.41 mit AMD Threadripper Support wurde gerade veröffentlicht und kann jetzt von unserem Server runtergeladen werden :thumb:


We've updated the tools yet again from SP1a which allowed more ports and improvements to AVX512:
- CPU Multi-Media: 128-bit (octa) floating-point benchmark
- CPU Scientific: GEMM, FFT, N-Body (single and double floating-point)
- CPU Image Processing: All filters vectorised and ported to AVX512 (Blur/Sharpen/Motion-Blur, Edge/Noise/Oil, Diffusion/Marble)
There's also an article showing AVX512 vs AVX2/FMA3 AVX512 performance improvement for SKL-X in Sandra SP2

We've not forgetting ThreadRipper - with all algorithms now updated for NUMA support:
- CPU Multi-Media: all algorithms. both integer and floating-point.
- CPU Cryptography: all algorithms, both crypto and hashing.
- CPU Scientific: all algorithms (but especially (F/D)GEMM)
- CPU Financial: Monte-Carlo (N/A others).
- CPU Image Processing: All filters (Blur/Sharpen/Motion-Blur, Edge/Noise/Oil, Diffusion/Marble).
There's also an article showing just how much NUMA supports helps TR - and when TR can mask the overhead.

SiSoftware Sandra 2017 SP1a (24.30) wurde gerade veröffentlicht und kann jetzt von unserem Server runtergeladen werden :thumb:


Tools update allowing further ports of benchmarks to AVX512:
- CPU Multi-Media: 128-bit (octa) floating-point benchmark
- CPU Scientific: GEMM and N-Body (single and double floating-point)
- CPU Image Processing: SIMD filters (AVX2/FMA3, AVX, SSE4*, SSE2) performance improvement
 
further benchmarks will be enabled as tools are further updated to support more AVX512 intrinsics:
- CPU Scientific: FFT (single and double floating-point)
- CPU Image Processing: all applicable filters
- other benchmarks may be updated
CUDA has been temporarily removed due to tool change; based on testing either OpenCL or DirectX Compute GPGPU benchmarks perform similarly at this time.
The .Net 4.7x CLR does not appear to use AVX512 yet - but as Sandra uses variable width vectors any future update will automagically use it.

SiSoftware Sandra 2017 SP1 (24.27) wurde gerade veröffentlicht und kann jetzt von unserem Server runtergeladen werden :thumb:


Updated hardware support to including:
- Intel HEDT/Workstation/Server Skylake-X/Kabylake-X
- Intel Core next gen (Cofeelake?)
- AMD HEDT/Workstation/Server Threadripper
- Updated DDR4, NVMem (non-volatile), PMem (persistent) memory support

Updated CPU benchmarks including:
- Updated AVX512 benchmarks (Multi-Media, Hashing, Memory & Cache Bandwidth)
- Further benchmarks will be updated to AVX512 in due course upon toolchain update

Benchmark Fixes
- Fix: CPU Power Management Efficiency benchmark running with more than 16 threads.
- Fix: SGEMM AVX2/FMA running with non-power of 2 threads.

SiSoftware Sandra 2017 RTMa (24.18) wurde gerade veröffentlicht und kann jetzt von unserem Server runtergeladen werden :thumb:


- Windows 7/Server 2008 R2: failure to launch due to missing TPM support.

If the BitLocker/TPM2 update was not installed and TPM support were missing Sandra would fail to launch.

- AMD Ryzen: updated support and fixes.

Better detection and information through further testing.

- Intel Atom Braswell and later: multiplier detection issues.

Benchmarks would fail to validate due to incorrect values.

- CPU Scientific: crash using the SSE2/3 FFT implementation on Atom CPUs.

- GPGPU: optimisations and fixes.

- OpenCL: optimisations for image processing, especially relating to FP16/half processing:

- DX ComputeShader: fixes for image processing enabling both FP32 and FP16 performance.

- GPGPU: test data randomised.

- Cryptography: CUDA, OpenCL, DX CS: replaced with random data which reduces cache locality and thus performance especially on APUs. AES performance has thus reduced by up to 50-70%.

Using randomised/high-entropy data is meant to improve the "fairness" of the benchmarks preventing "best-case" scenarios where results may be better than expected. While hardware may thus perform better given low-entropy data - that is preferable to the previous results.

- Ranker: old results (pre Sandra 2014) removed.

- The reference/aggregated results have been updated with newer 2017 results given higher weight.
