Subject: Houdini 1.02 by Robert Houdart Fri Jun 18, 2010 8:37 pm
The current version Houdini 1.02 is available for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit, for 1 to 8 cores. Each executable is optimized for the specific number of cores, it's recommended that you install the version that matches your hardware and platform.
32 bit version Can be used on any not too ancient Windows version. From release 1.02 on these compiles no longer depend on SSE2 instructions and will also run on older processors that don't support the SSE2 instruction set.
On 64-bit hardware that supports SSE4.2 (e.g. Intel Core i5 and i7) you can use the "POPCNT" version that runs slightly faster than the standard version.
