Hey guys,


New release:

Version 0.4beta

28-Sept-2006

- Modified the way results are presented to have a more professional (and intuitive) look.
- Changed startup code to change the default run parameters depending upon the system configuration (processor count.)
- Added a option where user can copy forum quote text directly.
- Included a high resolution timer to provide much more accurate results.
- Changed version number to 0.4beta

Thanks to RiO for convincing me to go for the tabular based view and for the various UI tips. Thanks a ton to TE admins for making www.techenclave.com/forums/superprime/ a reality :D

o common.... u install a 650 MB os from the beast, afraid of a 20 MB framework? :P waiting for results.

.NET bloatware :D

Write it in a proper language like C/C++, Borland do a great IDE. :)

so i guess with a quad core chip, we should see sub 20secs? if they scale that well i.e. :D

neat result... i will do a 5E8 run to see how it compares with ur mighty kents....

pls do a highest + 5E7 run.... with 4 threads. i wanna see sub 20 secs on it :D (i get around 37 sec average)

edit: can you do a 2 thread run please? cuz i want to see the scaling from 2 threads to 4 threads.

Something's wrong I think.. or maybe its just the netburst.. lol.

edit: re-run it with 2 threads... but I dont have HT and its around the same result so I guess it wasnt an error.

Wr for the moment -_-


this was really long ;p

omg 8hrs hehehe

Hmm, after seeing the results of quad-core runs via peeps over @ XS (thread here)..... i saw that the algorithm was not scaling as well as I would have liked. Hence I implemented a new dynamic load balancing algorithm, and hence this new beta. Test it for me guys:

Version 0.14beta

17-Sept-2006

- Improved the dynamic load balancing algorithm so that it scales well with > 2 physical cores.
- Characterized the different working set sizes based on their intended purposes.
- Changed version number to 0.14beta

Regards,

Karan

updated first post with new beta.....

Thanks to Funky for helping me beta test this release. Also many thanks to RiO for giving invalueable suggestions and ideas which were mostly implemented (he knows what i mean ^_^)

Question about stress test.. is it check error during it?

Yes.... + this is one of the easiest way to load up as many cores you might possibly have (upper limit 16 :D) If you get a "Green" result, that implies your CPU was SuperPrime "what-is-the-working-set-size" stable.

Clearly, Conroe is twice as fast as my AM2 setup, at the same CPU clocks :)

btw, nice benchmark, kidoman :up: Although, validation links don't seem to work properly.

Hello bachus_anonym,

Thanks a lot for running these tests in this detailed a manner. Truely, these will help me a lot in finetuning the benchmarks.....


- You just took the WR in this Benchmark in 5E7. The next best result is 30.20 (Here)

- It is scaling nicely... I want someone with a nicely OCed quad core rig to show me how this is scaling beyond 2 cores. I dont have access to such L33T hardware hence I cannot really predict. But I have used my imagination to make the algorithm as parallel and scalable as possible. (FYI, yesterday I ran the benchmark in a octa core Xeom MP machine. It was scaling like a beauty there but the results were slower because of Netburst architechture :mad: )

- Yes the conroe ownes in the benchmark, particularly due to the number of ALUs.

- I dont see the cache of the Conroe (vs a Allendate) affecting the score much (atleast not as much as it affects SuperPi) I have seen a 0.3s advantage of Conroe over a Allendale at the same clock. Good for my
benchmark....

- I am working with the admins back at my forum (www.techenclave.com) to get all the validations etc working. After that we will create a hall of frame. Make sure to get to #1 as soon as it comes :)

Regards and Thanks,

Karan

Major release :) This benchi has taken off... thanks to the ocers determination to tackle every new demanding benchmark out there.

No longer just a CPU benchmark.... more of a system benchmark now.

Much has changed, hence the old scores dont apply. I guess you all will appreciate the changes in this version.

Version 0.6

31-Oct-2006

- Adjusted the dynamic load balancing system to give weightage to threads which have been running longer.
- Made parts of the benchmark single threaded to bring in the CPU's performance w/ 1 thread into the score.
- Added Rabin Miller Test into the implementation. Now after a certain range, the new test is being used which clearly gives us a health spee boost.
- Brought in memory into the equation in a big way. If you have fast ram, you shall have fast results :) (hopefully)
- Added Team TechEnclave to the Program title.
- Changed version number to 0.6

Available immd via auto update (download 0.5 version from http://www.techenclave.com/forums/superprime/ and press F5 or Help > Check for updates, 0.6 will be ready to use on next restart) :cool2:

BTW, the current world record is held by coolaler @ 15.6 sec with a 4g Core 2 Quad :) :cool2:

Crashes on me :(

SuperPrime v0.6 test and new 1801 BIOS
- "Above Normal" and 1E8 setting
- test to see new 1801 BIOS effect, if any
- about .3 sec improvement @ 1E8, over BIOS 1707.....
- results panel pasted in after test completion
- main shot taken seconds before test completion, to show CPU load, temps, volts, etc.

bump...
Pretty cool bench. Not many people seem to be onboard though. Kind of painful to see how badly the conroes whup my lowly opteron 165 though.

Is this based on any actual experience, or just pure opinion? ;)

I write code against this framework everyday, and have used every version since the beta of 1.0. While no framework is perfect .NET makes my job much easier, and more enjoyable.

I would like to understand where you are coming from. Are you a professional developer, and end user, or a hobbyist?

Hello, thought I would muck around with my work computer to see what the multi-core scaling was like on an AMD CPU.

You guys just get in from yelling at the kids to get off of your front lawn?

I also have a skt A Sempron (Thoroughbread) as my quiet web browsing machine, and I wanted to test SuperPrime on this one also. But I get this error and I can't run the benchmark...:(

You will need the .NET 2.0 Framework installed.

AHA! That solves my problem, I will install it and run the benchmark. Thx :)

I really like this benchmark, it really uses Dual Cores at their maximum. As you can see in the attached images, I ran the tests with 1 core and then I ran the tests with 2 cores, and the difference is double, as it should be in any aplication. I am really impresed. Any news with the development of the benchmark?
