I need a volunteer with a recent Linux 2.6.X system with at least GCC 4.2 and multi-core hardware (e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or a womping 16 core system) to assist with doing performance testing of OpenMP-accellerated algorithms in development GraphicsMagick 1.3. The task is not too challenging since all performance testing can be done from the command line. Programming skills are not required. OpenMP (parallel processing) is starting to be rolled into GraphicsMagick. Performance is sensitive to OS, compiler, and CPU type. For some targets performance actually gets worse with more threads whereas other targets see substantial speedup. My objective is to obtain as much speedup as possible on various systems without experiencing loss of processing efficiency. Can someone please volunteer for this?
