Re: [Gretl-users] Mahalanobis Distance - Execution Time

Hi, I tried Jack's script and found a curious different performances for a 2 core processor when compared with a 4 core processor (and different builds). (The tests were not done in the same conditions, in Fedora there was a logged in user in GUI, in OpenSUSE only with ssh) Attached is a screenshot of the results. The systems are (both with 4GB RAM): On the left, Fedora Core 19 x64, Intel Core I5 2.5GHz (4 processors), gretl CVS 1.9.15 On the right OpenSUSE 13.1 x64, Intel Core 2 Duo 3GHz, gretl 1.9.14 On the other screenshot we have same OpenSUSE 13.1, gretl CVS 1.9.15 Also attached the config log results. Chart Observation: Fedora, 1.9.15cvs: peek 0.35 range 0 - 0.05 OpenSUSE, 1.9.15cvs: peek 0.08 range 0.02 - 0.08 OpenSUSE, 1.9.14: peek 0.10 range 0.02 - 0.09 It would be interesting if we have a stable benchmark script (I can even have it automated).
