Slowest SuperPi scores ever

[Bbq]

Toshiba Satellite pro 4600
900mhz p3-m
128mb ram
20gb
windows XP Pro

17 minute 1m

don't even ask how long for a 32m.

[SMa]

Who will be the first one to do a week (168 hours) for 32M

What happens if Prime & SuperPi are ran together? Would be much much much slower.

No, no, no.

Thats not allowed to slow down the computer with other program loading.

That way with an endless cicle I can get much much worse score with my 486SX.

Please play this fairly. It cannot checked so this depends on the player's conscience.

In my test results no other program running background that artifically slow down the system for worse results.

As I said: the 1M on this shlt can take up to five days, i don't really wanna run it.

Please use 16K test in this slow area to determine a score. You don't really want to wait that time till 1M completed on a computer like this.

[InSanCen]

Agreed, to a point.

don't run any proggies to slow it down. just a Basic OS install will do (Win95 on an 8MB 386? Suppose that's pushing the envelope a bit. I'll lookee for a Linux install, see if I can get my head round it).

16K to show some numbers, anything longer at your own discretion
But I'm still up for running 32M...

organising getting my 386 back. Fires up still
The Apricot 286 does too!

as you have the same cpu as mine was, it should take 2 days max.. and linux version will complete it even faster..

Welcome to Xtremesystems.org everyone!
Any machine here can smoke the fastest guy working on it by hand.

darn...that beats my nehemiah.



o/c'ed to 1Ghz

I have Cyrix 100Mhz lappy, but spi are not running, just errors.
I got P133, and OC friendly s7 board, with 256MB ram. Will buy 200/233Mhz MMX pentium for this machine Oldscool, here i come.

[ewitte]

Time to break out the P133 laptop I have.

[dchard]

Time to break out the P133 laptop I have.

I have one too, I'll run a test on it.

Dchard

Oh by the way: OK, I'm in game: first I run the 1M on SX, than 32M, an d also on a 133MHz P1 laptop with 32M ram, and win98 on it but on this just an 1M.

[over@locker886]

Welcome on XS my friend's Wait 1M and 32M

[dchard]

I done with the 1M superpi test on a P1 133MHz laptop with 32MB RAM, and no L2 cache, Win98

1M Calcualtion time: 53min 03sec

Validation picture here

For the test 1M and 32M on 486SX I need to borrow an UPS

The game is on.

Dchard

MOD: for users who get errors on old machines with win95/98: use the original superpi:

[Kasparz]

I ran 16K on Cyrix lappy, 75Mhz actually and 24Mb ram, w95. 16K time 7.26m
I ran spi on s7 rig too (P133 256MB SD-RAM w2k) underclocked to 75Mhz(50FSBx1.5), 16K 13.059sec, and overclocked to 188Mhz(62x3) 16k 6.059sec. I really dunno why Cyrix lappy are too slow. I started to run 1m now, but i will not finish today

[dchard]

It seems, that an old 386 33MHz AMD computer with almost 4MB of RAM should come not far, so the 1M and 32M tests on 486 SX will be delayed.

This is a borad integrated one

I think the 32M on this it takes more than two weeks, far more

With the 486SX the 32M with precise calculations from 16K results: it takes ~ 1/3 month.

What would be nice to see is how slow a modern machine can go, due to crappy software. My mothers laptop which has a 1,7GHz Pentium M and 256MB ram, uses like 2.5min on 1M.

[Kasparz]

OK, who wants SLOOWW times, use w95. 16k on w95 7.26m, 16k on w98SE 52sec. Same config.

[dchard]

Hi!

386 40MHz AMD cpu, 3712KB simm ram, 200MB HDD, VGA with 512KB ram (ISA), Win95 Floppy Edition(!).

Original SuperPi 16K running.

Why Floppy Edition? Because the CD version crashes with "Memory control error" before it can start the file copying stage in setup. The CD is fine (I setup systems with it).

A 486sx doesnt even have a maths coprocessor so its a bit unfair.

We had an 086 till recently, it was a full system & I used it to print documents off. I actually sold it on ebay for £40

8.66mhz I think it was, I used to go make tea and a sandwich while it started so cant remember now. We even had a couple games, tetris 3d and double dragon! 512k was its total memory or maybe half that, but is that even enough to run superpi? Only had a 5.25" FDD too but I think I would have used a nullmodem cable and zcopy to transfer the program.


The oldest machine Ive used was a Wang machine (1970's?). Maybe it was called that because of the 1 foot long floppy disks it used

[dchard]

"is that even enough to run superpi?"

No. Not because SuperPi, but you cannot run a proper OS to run Pi (win, or linux).

And I'am in trouble too: SuperPi can be started, but hangs immediately, after I start the 16K calculation. Interesting, because win95 is running quiet well. I think I need a little ram. I can buy 5-6 pieces for just 0,5$

Next week I will do this, and will try again.

[Celeron Gamer]

My 486sx/25 can be set to 7MHz in the BIOS, I don't bother running Superpi with that

u overclock too much lol

[Khenglish]

Hey does anyone know how to mod a graphing calculator to make it calculate past 10 decimals? I think the 4mhz 8bit z80 in the Ti-83 and 84 will take the crown as the slowest calculation. I'm worried that the batteries won't last the days to calculate even 16K.

[ANP !!!]

LOL.. its like we are all back in old times. when P series was going to be launched. God Dammit those were the times.
