Building on everything commented (positively) about build 2 and eliminating things commented negatively about the update is a milestone in my opinion. The milestone is when the program begins to get serious, useful. I think allot of the support i need to really get going can (although no word on will, depends on how things go) be accomplished using build 3 and a roadmap for builds 4 and 5. Build 3 hence was given a version number, unlike the other builds : version 0.4. Build 3 screenshots, downloads, and information on the revision can be found on the first post of the DoubleMark topic.

New graphic is by ThePope this time instead of myself and i must say has the classical programmer feel to it with blocky text. The C# green and C# at the end that represent the CH in Licht for l33t speak. Reminds me of the old DOS days for programmers where you had to be a pro to get anything done. Same time represents all DoubleMark sets out to prove (which i try to promote C# among my peers.)

Looking like build 3 won't get pi calculation, i overestimated the staggering amount of work i will need to put into this to get it to work, it really is a challenge.

Sorry for the delays in build 3 but the new prime number calculation algorithm is extremely difficult to multi-thread. I'm consulting other programmers for assistance with my code.

New algorithm uses nothing but integers, efficiency beyond that of build 1 (most common complaint on other forums was that build 2 couldn't touch the single core efficiency of build 1.) A full explanation of how it works is available on request, the algorithm in single thread (perfectly working) can be found in the DoubleMark topic.

Also included, a screenshot of the unfinished build in action.

For those who don't know DoubleMark is a CPU benchmarking application (at the moment, will expand to other component in the future.) The current build is 2 and the upcoming 3rd build will include major improvements. Features of the 3rd build can be roughly found by sorting through the thread which acts as the base of operations.

As of the now the thread has received good amounts of attention for starters considering the primitiveness of builds 1 & 2. Receiving over 2750 views and over 130 posts. A good start i think, far from what i am aiming for sadly. ]]> Licht http://www.overclock.net/blogs/licht/411-doublemark.html
