#1 PrimeGrid New LLR apps

Post by Newshound »


We have upgraded the version of LLR used on all of our LLR projects to LLR v.3.8.21.

As with the previous version of LLR, it is available in 32 and 64 bit versions for Windows and Linux, and 64 bits for Mac OS.

This release has two major features:

* Support for AVX/FMA3 on AMD Ryzen CPUs. You can expect about a 10% increase in speed on Ryzen processors as compared to earlier versions of LLR.

* A rare bug that sometimes caused errors when using multithreading has been corrected.

If you are using app_info.xml (aka anonymous platform) please upgrade to the latest LLR. The wrapper is unchanged. Upgrading is not mandatory, but is strongly recommended.

If you are not using app_info.xml, you will automatically get the new version with your next LLR task and no action is necessary on your part. If you're not sure if you're using app_info.xml you're almost certainly not using it, and no action is necessary.
