LinX - A simple Linpack interface

[McLaren__F1]

For running stability tests, do you normally run LinX while running a Prime95 stress test? Or 1 at a time?

That`s just a funny bug

I do believe Dualist will fix it ASAP

No, of course not. One at a time is always better.

Coz of it`s Windows

Jcool,

Are the i9s out in Germany already?

Jeolous!

For those of you running < 30000 problem and not being able to pass prime should really consider running a higher problem size.

I can run prime no problem, but when compared to linpack running >30000 prime does not push the system remotely close to Linpack.

I'd like to say that it might be Linpack's incompatibility with i9, but it might be my fault as well.
Apart from these unusually low temps does everything else seem OK?

The CPU is fine, yeah. Crunching happily at 4,3

Prime64 works BTW, "high" temps and also detects errors pretty quickly if you use >4GB if ram.

He, not bad at all for a 12-thread monster. I actually wanted to ask whether there is some sort of «weird» behavior in LinX when testing (the screenshot you provided has no tests completed so it is hard to tell if everything's fine or not…).

[jcool]

Well I was running it for half an hour the other day before I noticed it was unstable at that setting (BOINC showed errors after 5 minutes while Linpack displayed none) so it's definitely not working correctly

Joschi, give Dualist some time ( I am tryig to communicate this the nice way, not the blatant way, of course ) .You ll be amazed of what he can do. . Really, he can do whatever he pleases, he is just with plenty of stuff going on and needs a tad of time to work on updates.

LinX 0.6.4

LinX 0.6.4-.exe

-added possibility to run tests on a given time interval and a new drop-down menu to switch between the two modes (times / minute)
-minor changes / improvements UI
-chart window will now properly retain their position when you exit the program
-fixed a bug is not very frequent errors LinX with heavy CPU
-Added new command line options, corrected mistakes found in the old (LinX.exe-help to display the available options)
-added a second in the file names to avoid renaming

Hm... not sure but I have a feeling this still doesn't work properly with Gulftown. Gflops are definitely way low. Have a look. Water temps are kinda high ATM, so not comparable to my earlier screens.

Unfair where can i get me one of them lol?

Thanks, stasio. You were faster once again.
A more english-friendly version of the changelog:

LinX 0.6.4

- added an option to run tests for a specified period of time. Use the drop-down list to set minutes or times to run tests
- small UI redesign/enhancements
- graph windows now correctly save their positions on program close
- fixed a somewhat rare bug leading to false LinX errors when CPU usage was high
- added new command-line options, fixed found bugs in older ones (run LinX.exe -help to view the list of command-line options)
- added seconds to filenames to prevent overwriting

Will update the 1st post as well as main links later.

Gracias, amigo. You're too kind.

This is just what I needed. Well, bad news then. If it is working, then low temps & GFlops is most likely a Linpack issue. LinX seems to do its job just fine here. Maybe play with priorities a bit, or try 32-bit version (just out of curiosity)?

And BTW, the amount of envy accommodating in this thread is rising with every next screenshot of that i9 of yours.

Yep, sure looks like it. Temps with prime95 at the same time here, way higher.

I better stop posting then eh?

1st post updated.

Links to the new 0.6.4 version:
LinX.7z

No, no, didn't mean it in any way. You're always welcome here.

[Duh]

My both friends ( jcool and Dualist) cant fight each other . You both do great. . Nice to see 2 talented and good guys in this lovely forum

nice, first LinX Gulf, what can this chip in LinX with 1.45-1.5V with air ,-)? 4400 MHz possible stable?

[jcool]

4,4 should be possible yeah. I won't feed it that much juice 24/7 though.

Having problems running 0.6.4 on my system. I'll start the test, and most of the time my cores are barely being used (looking at a windows gadget showing me the 8 threads). One time I went into the settings, I think I just turned on the Everest monitoring and the sound option, and after that I was able to run a test of 20 passes ok. But I haven't been able to get it to work since. I've tried going into the settings and making some changes to see if that's what made it work the first time, but there wasn't a change.

I had the same problem under windows xp x64. I rebooted and it went away I could not find the cause.

[SteveLord]

Never heard of this. I might give it a go.

I hate this «bug» but I still can't find out what's causing it. What's worse, it happens really rarely on my PC. I'll keep investigating, but the pattern is still unclear. Any suggestions/observations on low GFlops issue are welcome.

I'm eager to hear your opinion (if you do give it a go, of course).

[Bitgod]

Haha, so I got home, read this thread, decided to try Linx again, and of course, it's working this time without changing anything. Nothing with the program anyway., the 2 things I just changed was that I installed the latest beta version of Everest, and to do that, I turned off the %@!$@# UAC. (I don't mind that it's got a job to do, but if I can't even unrar files into a folder in Program Files, then you've become a PITA).

In the IntelBurnTest thread, it mentions doing 16 threads on i7s, is that recommended here also?

So finished one batch, quit the app, reopened, still working. I noticed when it's not working, it doesn't save changes you make to it like the settings, but it does remember the changes when it's working right, so it seems like it can't write to it's config file. I wonder if turning off UAC fixed something?

I always get low Gflops with HT enabled, I thought that was a Linpack general problem and "normal"?
