    Just tested this little trick - doesn't do much aside from boosting the score by 20pts here.

     

    - default thread count: 1224.6

    - all threads selected: 1231.7

    - only 64 threads: 1245.5

    It's a legit tweak for the benchmark.

     

    You're doing it wrong, but yeah legit.

     

    The tweak consists in finding the threads that boost the score, not just selecting one like you did. I.e. I found best avg score is given by running in steps of 8 (1-2-3-4-8-16-24 etc), but like Mr.Scott said, it depends a lot on each cpu/platform.

    Our team has been applying the UCBench tweaks for months (year?), and the submissions have never been contested. If you look around at submissions, many of them are using thread/instruction set tweaks that are just now coming under debate here..

     

    The "Thread" tweak has been used since I've shown it after CC. The first "SSE3" only tweak was used during CC12 and I had to explain that one too. F.T.S.

     

    This is a very old case. Carl used it a year ago: http://hwbot.org/submission/2197835_turrican_ucbench_2011_athlon_xp_1800_thoroughbred_60.9_mpt_score after he saw GENiEBEN using it.

     

    Yep Ney and Karl noticed quite quick :) But Karl EDITED the score so it's not APRIL 2011 but MAY.2012.

    Whatever you guys decide, legal or not (PowerToy anyone?), I still have the 3rd tweak I haven't used yet, so I for one couldn't care anyway.

     

     

    PS: Ohh and no one noticed the Unigine one so far :) What takes you guys so long? I can take LN2 records on air with this one, not so good imho.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there is a bug somewhere, it's totally anti-intuitive that 64 threads is faster than 2 on these CPUs, more threads to fight over the same resources. However, it's an easy thing to dettect, so IMO we could just allow it until it's proven to be a bug.

     

    If I spill the beans app gets banned from hwbot :D
