32m SPi Low Clock Challenge

Well buddy, actually the Taiwanese version is just the same one but using Taiwanese language. Nothing special; I mean for you and me, but great for Taiwanese natives.



Guess I know...

Hi
in TW,spanish Datacenter in not include in cd and so it's just 500Mb
Datacenter have more than 7Mb reg files which not good for Spi
that's all i think

do you know how SuperPI works ?

if we know how it works we could run it better .

wouldnt you normally get rid of it via nlite anyways

my XP is trimmed to 150MB or something like that

my TW lite with all reg tweaks on is fastest about 2 seconds of my TW orginal 500mb @ 4000 MHz without waza
yes sure if you know all that files you can lite it with nlite

Thanks before for info

Well IMHO actually it doesn't change anything for Spi functionning mate. Spi computation process doesn't care about reg... In fact, windows size doesn't make pi faster or slower.

Here's a glance (monitoring the process) at Spi functionning

- Prior to start the computation: opening the app. (Here're the reg calls... I mean for both software and hardware aspects, reg isn't important after this point. Everything looks set.)
Example of events

4:58:35.3562421 PM	super_pi_mod.exe	4384	RegQueryValue	HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CTF\Disable Thread Input Manager	SUCCESS	Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1

- Prior to start the computation: selecting the type of computation.
Example of events

- During the computation (basically dealing with spi self-created files)

oh guys it is not unusual to have half a second difference or ever slightly more between runs because of a couple of loops called bonus loops dont consistently throw out expected results

so someone getting a second quicker doesnt necessarily mean its got anything to do with the OS

I know who claimed that he shaved off 10 seconds and i could understand him saying that because he publicly says he's all brute force and not much into tweaking so if he did get some great tips and everything setup for him he could have seen good gains i guess

but OS to OS its laughable to suggest there are significant differences like that

now i'm starting to sound like Cpt Obvious hahah
