    Post your Super PI benchmarks here! If you have more than one computer or OS, feel free to post multiple benchmarks! :)

    Instructions
    Linux Users
    Download: http://www.di.uminho.pt/~apa/directoria ... _pi.tar.gz
    Untar (command is "tar xvf super_pi.tar.gz")
    Run with 20 bit precision ("./pi 20")

    n00bs (aka Windows Users)
    Download: http://www.overclock.net/downloads/138140-super-pi.html
    Extract
    Run with 1M precision

    When posting your benchmarks, make sure you include your
    1) Processor
    2) Processor speed
    3) Operating System
    4) OPTIONAL: RAM, FSB, CPU cache, etc

    Run this preferably without any other CPU intensive applications (apps like browsers and stuff is fine, it won't significantly affect the benchmark).
    Also note if you OCed


    My benchmarks:
    AMD Athlon 64 3400+
    2.2 GHz
    Gentoo Linux
    1 GB RAM, 1600 MHz FSB, 512 kb L2 cache

    Code (Text):
    1. $ ./pi 20
    2.  Version 2.0 of the super_pi for Linux OS
    3.  Fortran source program was translated into C program with version 19981204 of
    4.  f2c, then generated C source program was optimized manually.
    5.  pgcc 3.2-3 with compile option of "-fast -tp px -Mbuiltin -Minline=size:1000 -Mnoframe -Mnobounds -Mcache_align -Mdalign -Mnoreentrant" was used for the
    6.  compilation.

    *has no idea what any of that is*

    However I know the first 3 digits of pi after the decimal, if that's what you mean?

    Just follow the instructions :)
    Super PI can calculate millions of digits of PI in mere seconds. Though this in itself isn't really useful, it can be used to benchmark your computer, specifically your CPU. It is used mainly by overclockers to measure speed and stability.

    Can't find the damn log with my noobish system.
    As soon as the test is over, a window popup saying "done", I click ok and all the information is erase. :lol:

    It takes you back to the main window, where it shows you how long it took for that particular size. It won't let you c+p the details, unlike the linux version.

    1 min 54.578 sec.

    I have no idea what my processor, processor speed, etc. is. :p

    but here's a screenie of all that pi info.

    CPU: Intel Pentium Mobile, 1.86Ghz, running at 782 Mhz when I ran the test
    Ram: 512 megs
    Os: XP pro sp2
    note: wasn't able to close all the apps before the test (job's laptop)

    I find the result impressive considering that this laptop isn't top of the line :)

    Should receive my new system by friday so I'll test it again with the p4 3ghz core 2 with 6m cache :p

    Well I've been pwned.

    what my cache cleaner tells me about my computer:

    ms windows xp sp2
    ntel pentium 4 CPU 3,00 GHz, 1.0 GB RAM, Intel 82915G Express Chipset Family

    didn't bother to close apps, ff and msn running.

    Just FYI, running other programs with Super PI won't significantly affect your benchmarks. As long as those programs aren't doing some serious CPU intensive stuff. So don't use that as an excuse when you see that Linux pwns Windows :p

    Blah Blah Blah :arf:
    I'm curious to see the difference in time between linux and windows on the same hardware. I don't think there will be much of a gap.

    Edit: Instead, let's have a real match with something like 3dmark or any benchmark program that use ALL the hardware to give significant result. Cpu speed alone is nothing. ;)

    Edit2: Let's start an E-WAR, my-pc-is-better-than-yours style

    Once I get my new comp, I'll install both Linux and Windows XP on it and benchmark it. ;)

    Benchmark: 20.672
    Processor: Forgot the name, Intel Dual-Core
    Speed: 2.53 GHz
    OS: Windows XP, clean (no other programs installed)

    I haven't gotten around to installing Linux on it yet, I'll post the Linux benchmark soon.

    Billy, sorry to burst you're overinflated bubble, but I'm afraid you're the one who is about to get pwned
    Processor: 2.52 ghz
    RAM: DDR2 SDRAM 667
    OS: Gentoo Linux
    Total cost of computer: $499.72

    32. Total calculation(I/O) time=      14.233(       0.456) Sec.
    33.  
    Now let's see... My benchmark is a mere 0.55 seconds less than yours, however you're processor is 20% faster than mine. Your RAM is twice as fast as mine. You're SSD is 1000x+ faster than mine. You're mobo is way better than mine. Hm... Then how am I competing with your computer? Yep, my OS is 10000x better than yours. I got a 6.6 second decrease in time from Windows to Gentoo Linux (same computer), thats nearly 50% more time.

    And this isn't even Gentoo optimized, with Gentoo optimization, I could do better than your Vista computer Billy. I'm sorry, but you just got pwned, badly. How much did your computer cost you again? I did all this under $500.
