BarsWF - Benchmark Results Thread - Who can get the highest?

Some background on BarsWF.. It's a highly optimized MD5 hash generator. It's main uses is brute forcing MD5 hashes, which is extremely processor intensive. What makes BarsWF unique, is that it has CUDA and Brook support, NVidia and ATi's GPGPU platform. BarsWF is a great way to compare raw processing power across laptops. It's multi-threaded as well as optimized for multiple cores. I've even run this on a true 16 CPU server to verify that.


A couple of warnings.

1) This benchmark is for somewhat advanced users. You should be able to determine the appropriate version for your system, x32/x64 CUDA (Nvidia) vs Brook (AMD/ATi) vs SSE (no GPU used in calculations). You need to know how to extract the files from a .zip archive, and use a command prompt to navigate to the directory you extracted to, and then execute the program with the options I've specified below. You cannot just double click the program and expect it to work.

2) BarsWF is very processor intensive. If you plan on running this longer than a few minutes I would recommend monitoring CPU and GPU temps, as they will sky rocket.

3) While there are legitimate uses for an MD5 hash bruteforce tool (lost passwords, etc..) it obviously has some possible illegal uses as well. I have no doubt should this thread become a discussion on those illegal uses that the mods will lock this very quickly. Please keep discussions to performance and actual benchmark results.


I will be making 3 categories (Nvidia / ATi-AMD / SSE2) for results and compiling a running list of fastest benchmarks for each category. Since this is NBR, I will asterisk any results by a desktop PC, but they will be accepted. Laptops with a desktop CPU will not be asterisked, as they are still technically laptops.

I've posted my results below from my Dell Vostro 1500 (T5470 @1.6GHz + 8400GS) as well as my W860CU (i7 720QM + GTX 280M).

Please follow my example when submitting results, as we need to know your GPU and CPU. You do NOT have to provide screenshots, I'll take your word for it UNLESS your performance is suspect, like taking the top spot in a category by 250MM hashes or so. It really is interesting to see the screenshots, as it shows each core and GPU and how that effects your score, so if you have the time post screen shots please do so, but it's not a requirement to get added to the results list. If you do not list your CPU AND GPU you won't be listed.

That being said, let's get to it. The download location is below.

Results for the scores above.

 

Added my T7500 under the SSE2 / no gpu results.

My last bump for this thread, if no one want's to give it a shot, I'll let it die a quiet and dignified death.

 

Here are my results:

NVIDIA CUDA (GTX 260M @ 550/1375/900 and GTX 260M OC @ 585/1463/950)

Code:

jenesuispasbavard - T9600 / GTX 260M - 462.22 MH/s

jenesuispasbavard - T9600 / GTX 260M OC - 481.12 MH/s

Intel SSE2 (T9600 @ 2.80 GHz and T9600 OC @ 3.20 GHz):

Code:

jenesuispasbavard - T9600 / GTX 260M - 99.82 MH/s

jenesuispasbavard - T9600 OC / GTX 260M - 114.70 MH/s

Surprising, even at 3.20 GHz, a 6 MB L2 Core 2 Duo is ~11% slower than a 6 MB L2 Core i7 at 1.60 GHz.

 

Well, it is a Core 2 Duo with 6MB L2 cache against a Quad i7 with 6MB of L3 cache and HT. That might explain the differences.

 

I agree, that's very interesting, since if you look at it form a clock rate perspective, with 4 x 1.6 = 6.4 and 3.2 x 2 = 6.4. I don't expect HT on/off would make much of a difference, but L2 vs L3 certainly seems to.

What I find extremely cool is how much processing power the GPU has behind it.. it makes the CPU almost look irrelevant. You start to get an idea of the power and possibilities of GPGPU.

 

Some other interesting screenshots for you guys to check out..

The first is from a server at my work, 16 CPU Xenon X7350 @2.93Ghz and the other is from a guy running Core i7 950 o/c to 3.6Ghz, and 4 GTX 295's.

 

Obviously, what I meant was that performance per physical core is ~11% higher on the Core i7s than the Core 2 Duos.

Also, L3 cache is slower than L2, but can be larger (the T9600's L2 is the same size as the i7-720-QM's L3). So the i7-720 should be at a disadvantage to the 6MB T- or P- Core 2 Duos.

Also, one last result from me (T9600 OC @ 3.2 GHz, GTX 260M OC @ 585/1463/950)

Code:

jenesuispasbavard - T9600 OC / GTX 260M OC - 486.24 MH/s

 

What I'm really interested to see is the SSE2 performance of the Q9000 at 2.0GHz vs the 720QM at 1.6GHz.

My guess is that the Q9000 will win, but not by a margin relative to the clock speed difference.

2.0 x4 = 8 (Q9000)
1.6 x4 = 6.4 (i7 720QM)

So theoretically, the Q9000 should be 25% faster, but I think it will only end up being about 8-10% faster.

 

so u wantz me to try @ stock speeds? i'll give it a go, gotta read some pride and prejudice, tho -_-

edit: aww, whenever i launch the bat file, it just closes IMMEDIATELY, giving me like maybe 200ms to see the screen. i got a faint screenshot of it as it was fading, not worth uploading but you get teh idea. anyone know why?

edit2: weird, tried ALL of the links, 6 of em, and none worked. the cuda one said failed to initialize cuz some DLL were missing. sorry

 

There is no batch file? Are you unzipping these? You can't run them from the zip file. Just extract them to a directory, then go to a command prompt, go to that directory and execute the commands I put in the original post.

Let me know if you have trouble, but I guarantee you they all work fine. Thanks for trying!

 

barsWF_Brook_x64.exe Maximum values i have found.

Turion M520 /HD4530 95.xx MH/s (64,xx for the GPU 30,xx for CPU)

SSE2 60,42 in Avg Total. 61,xx in value above it in the test screen.

 

alright! some brook results, nice! Thanks Bullit!

 

Just create a file named BarsWF_Run.bat in the corresponding directory that contains the following line:
BarsWF_CUDA_x64.exe -c 0aA~ -h 1b0e9fd3086d90a159a1d6cb86f11b4c
or
BarsWF_SSE2_x64.exe -c 0aA~ -h 1b0e9fd3086d90a159a1d6cb86f11b4c

 

Here are my results in Windows 7 Ultimate x64:

 

Does the same for me, all I see is a command prompt with every password I've ever used on this computer...

 

Yes, and then it contacts the NSA/CIA/FBI and Al Queda and tells them your mother's maiden name and your locker combination from 3rd grade.

 

Quadro!! That's crazy, it's on par with the 280M. That Q9550S is impressive!

 

Why would I lie about this? besides the NSA and CIA does not need to trick me into some type of benchmark to find anything on my computer... they can just look at it--just like yours.

 

Well, since this is entirely legit, I assumed you were joking.

Perhaps I should add to my original post that this is for somewhat "advanced" users seeing as how it requires the command prompt, determining the correct version for your computer, etc..

Apologies if you thought I was calling you a liar, I wasn't.

For the record, this is not spyware, nor does it have a virus, nor will it steal passwords from your computer, etc.. It doesn't even connect to the internet.

Unless you are creating your own batch file like mmarchid suggested, there is no batch file involved. If you do not feel comfortable running a console-based executable, please don't download it.

 

well duhh i unzipped it, otherwise it would open with Winrar....

it gives me an executable file rite? am i suppsoed to launch it with CMD? o.o k i'll try...

edit...umm how do i run it with CMD? ive tried that "barsWF_SSE2_x64.exe -c 0aA~ -h 1b0e9fd3086d90a159a1d6cb86f11b4c" command line, tried run "D:\barsWF_SSE2_x64.exe" as the command...how? sorry for n00bness.

 

Here's an example.. Unzip the files to c:\temp

Go to a command prompt (find the icon, it's under accessories, I believe).

type cd \ [enter]
type cd temp [enter]

then type one of the command lines above.. for x64 CUDA it's this.

barsWF_CUDA_x64.exe -c 0aA~ -h 1b0e9fd3086d90a159a1d6cb86f11b4c [enter]

that's it, it's that easy.

If you don't have a c:\temp directory, create it, or just choose another directory.. For example, C:\XYZ\123\.. you'd just do

type cd \ [enter]
type cd XYZ\123\ [enter]

obviously [enter] means hit the enter key, don't type it out.

 

Can i have my bench added from my D900F thread

 

Of course!

 

Cheers dude i appreciate it
cant rep+ >.>

 

mine here.

 

Thanks kaltmond!

 

Got some news about scalability with heteregenous multi-GPU systems:
D901C with Q9550S:

425.14 + 325.52 + 196.32 for a rather confused total of 831.11

 

Wow, very cool mmarchid!

 

q9200/9800m gts sli

 

Lets keep this thread alive


NVidia CUDA Version:
moral hazard - T7300 @ 2.3GHz / 9800m GS (635/980) - 261.49 MH/s

Not good

 

Come on people, don't let this thread die

Here is the best I can do:
moral hazard - T7300 @ 2.3GHz / 9800m GS (700/955/1639) - 311.05 MH/s

 

How do you get it to run properly? Mine just opens a cmd box, and within a second of opening, it automatically closes.

 

Start > run > cmd

then change to the folder you have barsWF in, then type the command.
e.g.
barsWF_Brook_x64.exe -c 0aA~ -h 1b0e9fd3086d90a159a1d6cb86f11b4c

*just copy the command, then right click on the top blue bar of the cmd window > edit > paste.*

 

Got it working - but how long does it take to finish?!

 

You don't wait till the end, you just take a screenshot when you think the MH/s is as high as it gets.

Press Esc to stop.

 

Alright, done it. And my desktop is NOT good.




I hate how bad my 8600 GTS is.

I'll do my laptop later on, when I have the time.

 

m11x - [email protected], 6GB DDR3@1066, GT335@450/790

 

not working with ATI video card?

 

Why not?

did you download the Brook version?

 

yes, but it prompts "The program can't start because amdcalcl64.dll is missing from your computer."

 

Download the 32bit version then.

if you have the 32bit version, use this command (with 32 in place of 64):
barsWF_Brook_ x32.exe -c 0aA~ -h 1b0e9fd3086d90a159a1d6cb86f11b4c

 

this time it prompts "The program can't start because amdcalcl.dll is missing from your computer."

 

Maybe your GPU doesn't support it.

What GPU do you have?

 

ATI 5730...

 

Doesnt work for me either 4850,

says something about a missing file, even when i execute from CMD.

147.80 on the SSE CPU test.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 running at 2.0 Ghz.

 

Hi, AMD has changed the names of libraries in the newest version of Catalyst drivers. You have to go to Windows/System32 folder, and rename files ati***.dll to amd***.dll (those from the message). Hope it helps.

 

thanks for that usefull info

 

This is with an i7 920 at 3.8GHz, two Nvidia GTS 250's for GPU...
