User says they might need to increase computer performance to Turbo (presumably a Windows power mode or hardware turbo setting). This is about their local machine performance for computations. Brief response: current workload is light; zetazero is single-threaded; turbo/boost may help modestly. Advise on what actually matters for our workloads (single-core speed for mpmath; multi-core + RAM for numpy matrix work; nothing GPU-dependent currently). Keep it short and practical. No tools needed.
That can help, but let me give you the realistic picture of what our workload actually needs:
**Current stage (E-002 zero computation):**
- `mpmath.zetazero` is **single-threaded** — it uses exactly one CPU core. Turbo/boost clocks on that core will speed it up roughly proportionally (e.g. +20-30% if your boost headroom allows). Multi-core count doesn't matter here.
- It's also fine to just leave it — 19 minutes of background computing costs nothing.
**What matters for upcoming stages:**
| Workload | What it needs |
|---|---|
| Zero computation (mpmath) | Single-core clock speed (Turbo helps) |
| Matrix builds / eigenvalues (numpy/scipy) | Multi-core + fast RAM (BLAS uses all cores — Turbo helps more here) |
| SDP relaxations (Phase 1, CGdL20-style) | Multi-core CPU + RAM; this will be our heaviest compute |
| Lean 4 builds (Track D) | Multi-core + several GB RAM |
| GPU | Not needed for anything currently planned |
**Practical advice:**
- Enabling Turbo/High-performance power mode in Windows is harmless and will shorten every compute stage — go ahead if you like.
- More impactful than raw speed: keeping the machine awake during long runs (disable sleep during a big computation) and letting background jobs finish — though with our resume-capable scripts, even interruptions only cost the in-progress window.
- No hardware upgrades are needed for anything on the current roadmap. If we eventually hit something genuinely heavy (e.g. large SDP), I'd design it to run in resumable chunks anyway, per your staging requirements.
Bottom line: Turbo mode = nice small speedup, worth switching on; not a requirement. The research bottleneck is mathematical, not computational.
