TTH Average Hashing speed

[BSOD2600]

I've created a tool that finds the average TTH hashing speed on your computer, based off the values in the DC++ system log message file (system.log). This will only work if you're using a recent 0.402 CVS build! (BCDC 0.401b is the only one that comes to mind thats been precompiled) Place the program in your DC++ Log directory and run it.

Post back the following information:
CPU Brand:
CPU speed:
HDD Size: (not your partition, the whole HDD)
HDD Model #: (if known)
Average hashing speed:

My build is from 28/03/04 so I guess it's not recent enough.

Once I update my build, would I be correct in thinking that I need to remove the system log and then hash a few things?

[Gasman1015]

Yes.

[BSOD2600]

No need to remove the existing log. All the program reads are the lines that contain the hashing speed, i.e. (8.57 MiB/s)

I would like to try this to but i have no idee how to compile the thing, Is there someone that send me a compiled version?

Once I saw the new logging format, I kind of figured that.

After hashing ~3GB of MP3s and ~2.5GB of AVIs under a typical system load, here is my information:

Intel Pentium III 866MHz
IC35L120 Hitachi 120GB 7200RPM IDE Ultra ATA 100 2MB Buffer (Isn't Google great? )
5.16349 MiB/s

I'll try on my laptop later on to see what kind of difference there is.

Something that I found interesting was that I had to actually close certain programs (such as SETI@Home) down. Not because the hashing was crippling my system but because the hashing wouldn't even start. I guess the IDLE priority is doing it's job. Though I totally expect people to still bitch about it.

Is there someone that send me a compiled version?

GargoyleMT has been posting links to a compiled version which contains the revised hashing code. I suggest you do a search, or ask him.

I would sincerely recommend people to do two things that least, for me, made a huge difference in the hashing matter.

1. See to it that you are in the fastest possible mode accessing your discs, UDMA 5 or 6 recommeded. Latest drivers, latest everything. In other words...Update drivers to latest possible. Check that cabling allows for at least UDMA 5

2. Constantly Defrag your disk/disks. This makes a big, big difference to overall access speed.
