Muon1 is an interesting one to try because it actually reacts _extremely well_ to hyperthreading when I use it, whereas some other applications can even slow down. But it also reacts extremely well to AMD's fast RAM access!

Do tell them about this project, more cpu's.
haven't seen an italian team here

I will be at NuFact'05 in Frascati (Italy) for the next week. I'm giving a talk on some calculations on the tantalum rod pion target I did with another here.

Meanwhile, if anyone with ~~more money than sense~~ a liking for high-end CPUs has got hold of, say, an X2 4800+ or an 840EE, it would be interesting if they could run muonbench on them and report the results in that thread. Muon1 supports dual-core and hyperthreading automatically... AMD seems faster usually, but it also reacts better than most applications to Intel's hyperthreading, so comparing those CPUs should be interesting.
