The 4670K doesn't have hyper threading, i.e. 4 cores/4 threads. OK, that explains it, more or less. But then it is not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison, since your R5 1600 does have HT. I don't know about the Xeon. I think on identical machines the results would favor Linux quite clearly for any VINA project (that included Eboba, Leishmaniasis, etc.). Thanks for the input. The Xeon chips that I have are old 4 core/4 thread, so probably closer to apples to apples than not. Basically, a 2.4GHz Xeon E5620 4 core/4 thread CPU running Ubuntu 18.04 takes slightly longer to complete Zika jobs than a 4.2 GHz 4670K 4 core/4 thread CPU running Win 10. Essentially, when running Zika jobs, a 2.4 GHz Ubuntu CPU is just slightly slower than a 4.2 GHz Win 10 CPU . . . at least that's my ball park observation. (added details about the Xeon CPU, i.e. finally did an lscpu  )[Edit 3 times, last edit by Macromancer at Apr 6, 2019 7:04:19 PM] |

Here are some figures for OpenZika on Linux (Ubuntu/LinuxMint) machines:

All machines are 100% committed to WCG. Cheers, Yves ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by KerSamson at Apr 13, 2019 6:35:12 AM] |
