***** Multicore Pi benchmark - AMD results *****

[felix_w]

Maybe you should not rename the thread's title because i found the reply of the program's author in the other thread, saying exact the opposite from the previous statement, that MC Prime is stopped and that the new benchmark is MC Pi....

OK, thanks all for testing this. The software is optimized for multicore but the algorithm is not that complex and may not reveal 100% accurate the differences between different CPU's.

Having this experience and this goal, I developed a new benchmark, witch use a far more complex multithreaded algorithm. Multi Core PI.

The old benchmark Multi Core Prime is no longer in development. I hope you will find this benchmark more useful and will reveal more accurate performance differences between platforms.

Multi Core PI calculates PI decimals using Bailey?Borwein?Plouffe formula. The benchmark is using a multithreaded algorithm written in C++ and provide excellent parallelism. Multi Core PI is written in Visual C++ using MFC and Win32API.

Anyway...keep benching...
