Alright. First of all, let me introduce a newer version: LinX 0.6.1
Main changes:
- Linpack files updated to version 10.2
- main algorithm rewritten, might improve performance a bit
- fixed an issue with inconsistent GFlops values in some cases
- hotkeys for Start and Stop buttons added: Enter and Escape keys respectively
Will update the 1st page & main mirror later.
The new 10.2 binaries were reported to have lower GFlops numbers, but good thing is they don't require external dlls. If you're concerned about GFlops, take 32-bit and/or 64-bit folders from previous LinX releases and put them into LinX folder (don't forget to delete the newer 10.2 Linpack files). But I'm sure this didn't affect the testing efficiency in any way.
Brama,
are you talking about the 0.6.1 version? Anyway, after the load of all cores went to 0% (obviously 1st pass finished as you mentioned), did it rise again (2nd pass started)? Does this issue happen with all 8 cores/some other problem size/memory values?
This new LinX uses 2 threads now with 2nd thread being idle most of the time to further lower the impact on the running Linpack. This is (imo) a big step forward, but might introduce new bugs.
If anyone else is having issues, please report them.
