I use the Haswell one.

The one I use is this one:

This one is faster on my machines, even on Core2. Just unzip and replace.

Hi hanluc,

After all I am using the one you shared. Yesterday when I was replacing I just saw the size of the file was the same.
Apologize, to all, please you hanloc's one.

Kind Regards,

Carlos

NEW OPTIMIZED APP[/COLOR]

BTW, we found a new and improved optimized Enigma app for Windows a while back. It supports AVX 2.0 FMA3(30%+ boost over old opti) for those with Haswell CPUs and gives about a 30% boost (over old opti app) to the X56xx dual Xeon boxes using SSE3. Unfortunately for Sandybridge/Ivybridge CPUs it only gives about a 4% boost over the old opti app.

The link is HERE

DOWNLOAD the file named: Enigma-Optima-v1.0.0-beta.3-windows.x64.7z The ZIP file might be the same - don't know

Unpack it and move all files to your Enigma project folder. It uses a app_info so you MUST restart BOINC. You'll lose all cached WU but it downloads new ones immediately.
