Stress-test four cores?
I've built a machine for a mate. Asus P5K-Premium/Q6600. He's going to bring
it around tomorrow night for me to overclock it for him. When I had it here I tried to stress all four cores with the aplets I already have, (Orthos, Prime(5..) and didn't do too well. Is there a tool for the job? I must admit I didn't try TAT. TIA, -- Shaun. |

TIA, Go here. There seem to be later versions than the ones acknowledged on the main mersenne.org page. Maybe these are considered betas, or a distraction from their real work or something. http://mersenne.org/gimps/ This is the one I downloaded. http://mersenne.org/gimps/p95v255a.zip I started it, selected the torture test, rather than joining. It started two "worker threads" on my machine (P4 w. Hyperthreading is equiv to only two cores). Give it a shot. I found a reference to it, by scrounging around http://xtremesystems.org/forums Paul |

I found a reference to it, by scrounging around http://xtremesystems.org/forums Paul I forgot to add, when you open that download with your unzip program, look carefully at the file path for the three accompanying document files. They are "../readme.txt". Before you unzip, create a couple layers deep "New Folder"'s and drop the ZIP at the bottom. The ../readme.txt specification, means when unzipped, it ends up a level above the location of the ZIP. It wiped out some readme.txt on my main download folder :-) Not a big loss, but a stupid way to pack a ZIP. Paul |

If you start two instances of Orthos, you can set the core affinity of each with Windows' Task Manager's (ctrl+alt+delete) "Processes" tab-- right click, "Set Affinity..."). Pick two cores for each instance. |
