Super PI 32m tweaking guide - Page 3

Good stuff. As Hobie said, core 2 is definitely not always the fastest. I test each core individually in 1M and the differences can be significant.

You also have to balance that out with which core is stable enough for 32M. For example, one core may be more "efficient" than the other, but it may be 50MHz lower in 32M stability... so if you're going for top times, there's a LOT of testing.

And another thing: it's not 32mb or 32MB. This benchmark calculates pi to 32 million digits, so it's 32M.

Off the top of my head, I know this many:

You guys should stop taking this so personally. Sorry I even asked the question, I was just curious frown.gif

My issue wasn't with asking the question, it was with outright refuting our answer despite having little to no knowledge in the matter themselves. That annoys me.

32M is crazy fun and addictive once you get into tweaking with it, OCN should start up a 32m low clock challenge and go at it. biggrin.gif

That would be cool biggrin.gif

Here are some screen shots in relationship to the importance of sub timings. The tweaks I used where VM set to 48-96 and maxmem at 600. Restarted every time after bench and so forth. Didn't see changes on the order of seconds (only milliseconds) before the timings changed.

I'm not man, it's just like owl said waza will be different on each system and can be very time consuming. Using this guide will only take you 10 mins and will save you more time then waza will.

I left waza out for the reasons I have mentioned. I have mentioned it and if people want to use it, it's easy enough to find. It's just meant to be a simple guide to help people new to the benchmark. Waza can take up A LOT of time to get it right. People new to it will see greater benefits from playing with the sub timings rather then waza.

I have to agree with this.
Setting up Waza to make it run correctly takes time, sometimes more than many are willing to invest into it vs the gains you'd get from it and that's unfortunate.

I have used it myself and I've seen it either work well, not so well or even not doing anything at all but subtimings will definitely work if applied correctly. I can't come out and say "Use this subtiming" since it's based on several factors, the RAM used being an obvious one and you simply must tweak things to discover what works best for your particular setup. Waza itself does work and like subtimings you have to work with it to get the max benefits from it and as always, that takes time too.

If you want to get the most from it, you gotta invest the time and effort since great results themselves aren't exactly free.... You have to work for it but the payoff itself is well worth it. rolleyes.gif
