1st of all this is cool.

Second of all, where do I get the rad megaman background?

afzsom

Using build 2, here are the computer specs:
E6600 @ 3.6GHz (1.425v, 400x9)
DDR2-800 Corsair XMS2 (5-5-5-12 2T)
Windows XP Pro SP2 32bit

It's actually part of a larger background I whipped up quickly from something I came across on digg. (It's made so it looks like they are standing on the taskbar :P)

C-bro

Just figured I'd let you know that I came across the same issue with the run once and unlock all 16 threads. But another error I have found is if you run a lengthy benchmark and close the application (with the X), it continues to run in the background. I had originally tested with 75k and I shut it down, then like 5 minutes later I had the result pop up. You may want to add a "Shutdown" button that uses Application.Exit(). I believe that not only stops all threads but also frees resources when working with C#. It's the way to properly close a program from a button.

I found no other glitches than the one that makes you able to choose any amount of threads. Seems cool though, ran it in 18453 with my 6400+ at 3512 MHz. Seems the AMD's keep up a bit better compared to the Intels in Prime than Pi

couldnt u just run multiple instances of super pi?

Licht

This is finding prime numbers, not calculating the value of pi, which is different. Ontop of that running 2 instances of superpi requires you to set affinity for each one. And ontop of that you couldn't get an accurate score off of it. It also makes it impossible for the cores to work together, this program is far superior to super pi (or will be upon completion) in measuring the power of multi-core CPU.

Yeah i am working on that, i need to access the close application button event. I also need to lock the maximize button. I have the access any number of threads fixed, and i'm pretty sure i have all 16 threads working. Releasing the next build with all this plus the stuff i didn't mention after i fix a few things.

Any program that allows the cores to work together will allow the CPU to use it's HT links, thus giving AMD a slight advantage. I am also considering parallel processing to further increase multi-core utilization. Which would at the same time give AMD even more of an advantage (any program that uses multi-core well gives AMD an advantage, it is just what comes with good multi-core programming and HT links. That also means Nahalem will gain advantages, any CPU with HT links will.)

Ok long story short, the bugs in Build2 are fixed and Build3's bugs simply need to be corrected then i am done.
