    Math turns benchmark: y-cruncher meets HWBOT

    in Benchmark software

    Posted · Edited by Taloken

    Hi ^^

     

    Trying y-cruncher at the moment, congrats for the well integrated Hwbot wrapper !

    25M and 1B done, i'm currently running the 10B ... see you the next decade xD

     

    FX-8350 and 16GB, i put the bench on my hdd and enabled the swap mode.

    Now, 54% completion for 1h11.

     

    Just a question, y-cruncher use the disk where it is, or it use system disk ? maybe my ssd is getting raped x)

     

    Edit : ok i see the files, it use current hdd, my ssd is safe ^^'

    Adjustment for Global Points - Work in progress

    in HWBOT Development: bugs, features and suggestions

    Posted

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. This week I will try to run another Adjustment test with:

    • keep the less steep slope for globals
    • keep reduced threshold for globals
    • not increase the maximum points for globals*
    • improve slope for hardware
    • reduce threshold for hardware

    (*): it is inevitable that the the global points contributing to your total will increase if we make the point slope less steep and reduce the threshold as both actions increase the points for positions below 10 by quite a lot.

     

    This sounds good indeed, what about apply this progressively on the time ? (Disclaimer : potential bullshirt idea)

     

    Like a brand-new VGA will keep HWP as it is now (and why not less), but older card get a boost in his HWP each year (or 6 months, or month, but it's time consuming and a more frequent update need more precise calculs)

     

    Let me take an exemple (with arbitrary numbers, just to show my mind) :

     

    Year 3015

    - GTX 800 and R9 800 are brand-new cards. HWP thresold is X, slope is Y.

    - GTX 700 and R9 700 are last year cards. HWP thresold is lowered X-5%, slope is increased Y+5%.

    - GTX 600 and R9 600 are 2-years old cards. HWP thresold is lowered X-7%, slope is increased Y+7%.

    - GTX 200 and R9 200 are old-school cards. HWP thresold is lowered X-20%, slope is increased Y+20%.

     

    Year 3016

    - Release of GTX 900 and R9 900. Standard HWP thresold/slope.

    - GTX 800 and R9 800 are now 1-year old. HWP thresold is lowered X-5%, slope is increased Y+5%.

    - GTX 700 and R9 700 are now 2-years old. HWP thresold is lowered X-7%, slope is increased Y+7%.

    - GTX 600 and R9 600 are now 3-years old. HWP thresold is lowered X-10%, slope is increased Y+10%.

    - GTX 200 and R9 200 are more-old-school cards. HWP thresold is lowered X-25%, slope is increased Y+25%.

     

    And so on, with of course a cap on the HWP awarded by the time cards get older.

     

    Wanna GLP ? Buy new-gen.

    Wanna HWP ? Dig old-gen.

     

    Same can be applied to CPU if you want.

     

    Ofc, this suppose we have the release date of each model in database, and if not, time to recruit an army.

    Also (less impacting), theres the issue of rebranded AMD as 2 or 3 gen can share the same GPU ID.

    The official ROC OC Showdown Formula Series Round 3 thread.

    I said again, the rule for the "Formula Cup " write this:

     

    Formula series

     

    No extreme cooling (<20�C) allowed.

    Only Rookie, Novice and Enthusiast leagues are eligible

    Overclockers that participated in offline international competitions are not eligible.

     

    Stage 1 rules write this:

     

    Limitations

     

    The CPU load temperature must be higher than 20�C

     

    Ok, rules said all the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not under 20C CPU temp, never mind load or idle temp.

     

    I find thats very unfair for all enthusiast Clocker, thats not ok.

     

    Greez and have fun.

     

    Nik

     

     

    Whatever rule is put on this comeptition, it will ALWAYS be subjective.

     

    Min temp at zero ? people lauching realtemp at heating, easy cheat -> nope

    Max temp >20 ? people screaming about salted ice -> nope

    Some temp at "ambient" ? people screaming about canadians, russians and inuits -> nope

    No limitations ? no cheating possible, and people still continue screaming -> nope

    ...

     

    This thing of enthusiast going subzero with salted ice (perhaps as expensive as dice, ln2 and SS somewhere?) is discussed in several topics on this forum, so maybe create a general one, without DRAMA and with propositions of SOLUTIONS.
