I'm not sure how well this plays out as a multicore benchmark but for anyone interested please post a screen shot including,...
1) Multi Core Pi v2.000 @ default (80K Pi decimals).
2) CPU-Z CPU tab.
3) CPU-Z Memory tab.

I'm game, will post benches later. Just a quick question though, did the author ever address (discuss) any of the reasons why the previous one was so buggy?

Hey, I'm just giving you guys a point of reference!

I use this netbook for taking notes and notes only in my writing/psyc/sociology classes.

Cant wait for the new version 0.6.1, it will support AVX & FMA.

Wouldn't adding those instruction sets to a benchmark make it awful for a real-life comparison? AVX has nothing to do with gaming and most PC usage scenarios.

It's actually at 2912Mhz. It probably picks up speed from windows, because no multiplier/bus ratio of mine would equal to a clean 2800Mhz.

Off-topic, but I did realize CPU-Z updated thanks to Scholzpdx
1.63:
Intel Pentium & Celeron "Ivy Bridge" CPUs
AMD Athlon X4 750K
FMA3 & 4 instructions sets
Support for systems with more than 64 CPUs
Report TDP in validation pages

Nothing of note really, though now the instructions list is two lines... :|

I'm not convinced this guy fixed anything :hmm:

He removed the onscreen printout of the computed digits of Pi, so we no longer have any way of determining if it is still a chaotic number generator like it was in the first version.

And the reported benchmark times are still borked. :|

Here's my FX-8350 turning in 44s 884ms at 3GHz...or you can see it turn in 45s 136ms at 4GHz (yep, it got slower despite being 1GHz faster :confused:)...but at least the 5GHz run was faster than 4GHz by coming in at 44s 982ms at 5GHz (but still slower than the 3GHz bench).

I predict ver300 will do away with the pesky benchmark time altogether and replace it with a chaotic number generator as well...may I suggest RandBetween(Pi(), Pi()^2)?

My speed increased with each run at the same clock, about 100ms faster each time. (stopped after 4 runs), I wonder If I could hit 0 seconds.

Maybe Edgemeal (et al.) can team up with Soulkeeper who is working on the same algorithm... call it Multi-Core Tau.

Except for developers to lazy to set a compiler switch (looks at Bethesda) x87 hasn't been relevant for years but people still use these pi benchmarks.

Maybe it just borked for AMD chips?
Could also be the power-limits. Do you have a HPM Mode? Then switch that on, also some mainboards have an "overcurrent" (or some other name) button in the UEFI BIOS, afaik Bulldozer chips throttle if they are above the limit.
There is a little bit of information in the AMD PDFs, register MSRC001_1028 "di/dt".

My scores:

multipi1.png


The score varies each run around ~1sec.

HPM is enabled, also I watch the power consumption for each run and it is very clearly using more power the higher the clockspeed (and other apps scale with clockspeed as expected on the same rig).

It is just this app, which in the prior version could not even calculate Pi correctly let alone return the same computed result twice (the value of Pi kept changing per the program)...the author took away the part where we could at least observe how poorly it calculated Pi so we just have to assume it works correctly now. But the borked benchmark timing is still there.

Wait, didn't we do this once and it was concluded the benchmark was pants?
