I've added some new details on the new version:
http://www.numberworld.org/y-crunche...n_history.html

And with that,
Here's the first two fully validated Advanced Swap computations with v0.5.2: (click to enlarge)

10 billion digits of Pi on my File Server - Pentium D @ 2.8 GHz + 3 GB DDR2 + 160 GB WD
x86 SSE3 - memory limit set to 1.84 GB.



10 billion digits of Pi on my Laptop - Core i7 720QM @ 1.6 GHz (stock) + 6 GB DDR3 + 500 GB Seagate
x64 SSE4.1 ~ Ushio - memory limit set to 3.00 GB.



Only the old benchmark mode will be able to verify if the digits are correct. (I obviously can't cache the last few digits of every computation size... lol)
For all other computations, (including these swap computations), the digits that it prints out will have to match the accepted values in order to complete the validation.
(the accepted values can be easily found online)


These two 10 billion digit computations took quite a long time (21 and 38 hours).
But that's because neither of the machines were "Xtreme" in any way.
In particular, my laptop's 500 HD is almost full so it only sustained 50 MB/s bandwidth.

I would expect that any "real" system (say a desktop C2Q/Ci7/PII X4) with a decent SATA II 7200 RPM drive will make 10 billion digits an "overnight job", or a "start in the morning, done before getting back from work" job...
