+1 for XS.

Good to see.

[5-Clicks]

Sweet!!:woot: :kittenhat:

[Welz]

awesome, gonna come out with a new version?

[I_G]

When I try to validate, it just clears the text boxes and does nothing else...

I see whats wrong but I wont be able to fix it till the morning.

[I_G]

Cool! Good to know you're on it. :)

Congrats on getting the rights. :clap:

[njkid32]

Very glad to see super pi went somewhere good and didnt fall into bad hands.

[scarface_what]

wicked mod

[M.Beier]

Gr8 :)

SPI in the hands of XS - Can you try'n take AM3 stats as well?? - The arc's down perment :'(

... One last thing, cause the sourcecode of SPI 1.4 be revealed.. - Im currently on a mission - I got programming in school and wanna make a page that's able to do PI calculation (pifast std. / SPI std) and E-calc, online :)

[snq]

Very glad to see super pi went somewhere good and didnt fall into bad hands.
Me too ;)
I wouldnt have given it to just anyone obviously, but XS was perfect. I had 3 other offers but I went with the most trustworthy candidate, not the highest offer :fact:

So enjoy :toast:

http://superpi.radeonx.com is as of now forwarded as well!

[jbmx4life]

the validator still doesn't work.... please fix??

[freecableguy]

I would like to work on making a SPI SMP Edition... :)

[Charles Wirth]

Super Pi 1.5 XS posted.
No changes other than checksum link changed to xs.org
Validation working too.

Thanks snq

[k0nsl]

Thanks, FUGGER, will check this out now :P

-k0nsl

[Pyr0]

the http://superpi.radeonx.com link forwards to http://www.xtremesystems.org/pi/ instead of .com

and on the http://www.xtremesystems.com/pi/ page it still says Super Pi 1.4 XS, 2005/03/14 :shrug:

validation still tells me:

Validation result:
Incorrect checksum!

[Charles Wirth]

Fill out all fields, time and checksum to get validation.

I will fix this server to catch the traffic. Thanks

[Pyr0]

Doh! :D i are clever :P
thanks Fugger :up:

[Charles Wirth]

Fixed.

[bachus_anonym]

Yay... Thanks Charles :toast:

Just change all "1.4" to "1.5" that appear everywhere, including zip file name ;) It could be good idea to add 1.5 to changelog... to explain what chages new version brings... YOu meantioned it here in a thread but I would put that on that Validation Page as well...

[Charles Wirth]

Doh...

heh, will do.

[eva2000]

v1.5 no where to be found heh

[Charles Wirth]

Click the download link and it is version 1.5 even though its labled 1.4

[Cpt Twitchy]

I think once 1.6 comes out it should be designed to run faster on AMD:p:

[afireinside]

Someone needs to make a version that opens and runs two instances without having to click two exes and run it twice ;) Would make dual core benching a ton less annoying.

and save yourself a full double click :woot:

[T_M]

I agree AFI, but I wouldnt want two opening if im only benching single core

[afireinside]

Make two different versions. Like (was it rodzilla?) did with the XS D2OL installers.

[T_M]

Would also like to see the default window size that opens when exe is run large enough for 32M to fit without resize every time

[alpha0ne]

Would also like to see the default window size that opens when exe is run large enough for 32M to fit without resize every time

That would be nice, I've got RSI from opening + resizing 2 x SPi 1.4 :( :D

[eva2000]

yes please!!!!

edit: running v1.5 right now = smaller font = no resize needed for 32M YAY!

[eva2000]

for some reason v1.5 is consistently 2-3 seconds slower than v1.4v especially in 32M tests

[Charles Wirth]

Hm, snq can confirm it is the same build just cosmetic changes.

[dinos22]

for some reason v1.5 is consistently 2-3 seconds slower than v1.4v especially in 32M tests
yeap exactly the same for me..........on 32M runs that is

[bachus_anonym]

Hmmm... No problem here (http://www.clockmehigh.com/cooler/screens/Opteron146/2x512UTT/0508057002740_0508057002795_1st/SPiMod14vs15.png) :shrug:

You can always set the window to open maximized

[bachus_anonym]

what OS ya using ?For those runs, Windows Server 2003.

[dinos22]

For those runs, Windows Server 2003.
have you noticed any differences between XP and 2003 in SuperPI

32-bit or 64-bit win2003?

Hmm, I am on it.

[BooStFeD]

I seem to be having some trouble running two instances at onces. Can anyone help......

I open 2

Calculate both to 1m

Start both as fast as possible

Right after starting the second i get an error msg saying
NO CONVERGENT IN SQR05 :slapass:

EDIT:
I did some more research solved the problem. Did not have SPI in two different folders. Was loading them from the same location........

[Charles Wirth]

Sounds like it is overheating and failing with both cores crunching. Increase the cooling to the CPU first, contact pressure, correct TIM, air paths.

Machine type and OC?

Temps?

[dinos22]

fugger maybe the guy just isn't placing SPI apps in two separate folders

[rob725]

For potential multi-core versions, a simple command line switch to select number of instances would do the trick.

If you think a result is faked then you check the validation checksum. It does nothing else :)

[CalabiYau]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to post my SuperPi score so far. I'll try to push for 4GHz sometime soon

[Fewture]

Superpi has this feature: "2005/02/27 Added more cheat protection. Try to cheat and it'll crash :) "

It crashes everytime I try to run it. No difference if I push the sytsem hard or not.

Any way to fix this? The normal version runs without problems.

[Charles Wirth]

Your machine stability would be the first thing to check. The program is a simple pi algorithm. I highly doubt the program is flawed as too 10+ million downloads there has been two reports of inability to run the program.

Most likely memory is pushed too far or defective.

if you run Vista it ain't the Pi software ;)
otherwise your system is unstable as charles said :)

Same with my system, i don't understand what is going

[[XC] Hicks121]

Prolly not a good oc. run memtest & see if you get any errors, or simply turn down the oc.

[sobol]

Apparently there is bug in Super PI mod xs. Could you please look into those two threads:

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=154295
and

Last thing to add is that ver 1.4 and 1.5 crashes while I can run 1.1e just fine.

Thanks.

[tet5uo]

HMm... I'm typing in the times that i got, and the checksum, but I always get an invalid checksum... does this thing work still?

[Charles Wirth]

Yes, it still works with version 1.5

screen shot so we can try validation?

me either :confused:

[tet5uo]

bump for curiosity, still can't validate anything..

not that it's a big deal to me.

[Torphoto]

yup I just tried and still getting invalid checksum

[purecain]

ok cant post my checksum for hwbot.... :shrug:

[cvoid]

Just wondering if because some people are using SuperPi 1.5 XS the checksum does not work?

I just downloaded SuperPI 1.5 XS since on a couple of sites thats I looked at most of the people were using SuperPI 1.5 XS.

When I try to validate the checksum it says invalid though and I have tried multiple times with the range from 16kb to 2MBs and everytime it fails the checksum on the website.

Here is a sample of one of my runs (yes I know its not a record but then again the system is still at stock speeds)

[dinos22]

it's broken

fugger said he'd look into it but i guess he hasn't yet :shrug:

[SoF]

he should try to lower frequency of the validation server, maybe its unstable :ROTF:

Does the SuperPi Validator work?

I tried from work and can't get it to say any result I tried is valid. I'll try it again when I get home and see if its not the network.

[MrHydes]

didn't knew that did is a XS copyright product well done folks :D

[Milamber]

I cant seem to validate either. Is this happening for everyone?

[Bullet92]

me too..

Validation result:
Incorrect checksum!

[Charles Wirth]

Its a bogus program that just does a fake calculation to whatever you type in as variabled, there is a visual difference with superpi 1.5 xs so its not a perfect copy.

[Gautam]

Look again Charles, this doesn't seem to be that knockoff. A very low level timing hack it seems, this would affect everything, not just SuperPi. I think they're using the original XS v1.5 without any modifications.

But ATM validation isn't working at all as it is. :S

[Antinomy]

I't a quite well-known hack. I remember this one for the good old Socket A. It changes the timer frequency, so the system thinks, that time goes slower than it really is. But there is a program, AnticheatTOC, it can catch this kind of cheat also. The program has been developed for Total Overclock - an overclocking competition. And there are new versions going out.

Would like to see that screen with the Anticheat validation :D
Cause this cheat was the first I recommended to add.

And yes, this program can make 3Dmark 01 run faster, that's for sure.

[Prodigys]

The Overclocker Magazine:

Fugger, don't sit so much on Gautum's ass with his name yeah ?
It was funny though :rofl: ...

Sorry for offtopic, but wanted to say this :devil: ...

[J@ckel]

hmm i still get the Validation result: Incorrect checksum!

dont know if im wrong or !!

[Slovnaft]

Is there something wrong with SPi mod 1.5?
I run a 1M calculation with a 20 pass IBT stable clock and Super Pi Mod "has stopped working" almost immediately or after 1 iteration.
I have also booted with default values from a cleared CMOS and recieved the same result. The same thing happens with 32M, sometimes a few iterations in.
Tried this on multiple hardware configs. Haven't been able to get a good SPi result in a while...

[little_scrapper]

I have also been trying to sun some pi's but no matter what i run It tells me its invalid checksum. Fugger can you look at this when you get a chance?

[George_o/c]

The validation hasn't been working for like a year now ... :(

[jasonelmore]

Common XS..this is why you got Super PI.. because we knew you would take care of it.. there is plenty of help here arouind the boards.. i'm sure one of us that you trust can get the validation going.. XS FTW!

Yes, there is something wrong. In Vista (64-bit only?), disable Windows Audio service, and then it will run fine. There is a script somewhere on this forum that will stop the audio service, run SuperPiMod XS, and restart Vista's audio service.

One assumes that the program is hooking into audio DirectX to detect cheating, but that it doesn't quite work with some Vista audio drivers. I get this issue too.

I ran the 32M and got "0h 10m 23.797s" (i7 @ 3660 (20x183), uncore @ 3302, 3 x 2GB DDR3-1464 @ 7-7-6-18-1T).

[KELL5]

hyper pi will run four instances (or however many cores you have) of Pi and offers the option to disable audio service in vista as descibed above.

I had this bug at one point, i never had to stop that service but i did have to make sure there were no sounds playing during the calculation. This includes the chime that plays just as the "now start to calculate" box pops up, which meant at first i thought it was just crashing in general, but in fact if i waited a second til the chime sound ended then pressed ok it worked no problems.

I'm not sure if you can mute the sound or something and that works too, if not i guess stopping the service is needed for those longer calcs.

installed gimp so I could take a screenshot:

protip: hit the print screen ("Print Scrn" or "prnt scrn" or something related, near your F12/scroll lock buttons) at the screen you want to capture. go into paint and hit control-v.
save this screen, and youre done!

Hello everybody!
I'm new to SuperPi and I have serveral doubts.
First, I know that SuperPi does not stress all cores but is there a mod or something that stresses all cores?
Second, Super Pi is not loading 100% of any core. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance!

I use a x3370, P5Q Deluxe, 6GB Kingston Hyper-X DDR2.
