Country Cup 2024 Planning Thread

Looks interesting.

For the Y-cruncher stage requiring a 24-core, would "true" 24-cores like Threadripper and Xeon be allowed there or are we expected to run 13900 / 14900K / KF / KS? Because those are the only mainstream 24-cores.

For the PyPrime 32B stage, was it intentional to have one of the subs running out of swap space? 32B requires more than 4 GB to run, well if you include O.S. RAM useage at least. If not intentional then maybe some kind of whacky config like 6 GB ram would be interesting.

My feedback on how the stages are currently configured :

 

- 7-Zip 1, 3, 5 cores -> Would be nice to explicitly remove those recent laptop CPUs like the pentium 8505 from the competition

- Geekbench3 - Memory Single Core Score -> Do we really have to do single core memory instead of multi-core memory again ? The latter scales a lot better with ram while the former is inflated to hell on X3D which I would argue is not fun

- Memory frequency DDR3/4/5 -> I'm down for it but we had pretty much that exact stage last year except DDR5 was AMD only. Besides, there's already memory frequency y-cruncher stable (i love that idea).

- PYPrime - 32b with BenchMate -> Make sure to explicitly state the rules here, SPD modding is easy and I don't think it's fair for the competition.

K I added GB3 multi memory score to the benchmark list, but we will we be required to divide the score by core for ranking or not?

No, multicore-memory doesn't really scale with core count

It was brought to my attention that this was not very clear. I'm talking about the stage limited to 6GB/8GB/16GB

Proposal of another benchmark for the memory frequency stage? 

disallow optimal platforms? No Haswell for DDR3, no Rocketlake for DDR4, no Raptorlake for DDR5 maybe?

Please,

Dogpile has no place in a country cup I believe. Especialy the proposed single cpu core, the scores would be purely made only on stock clocks and will need utilizing old slow platforms no widely available anymore. It would be time consuming and will have nothing to offer in terms of fun or terms of challenge in beating old legentary scores made under LN2.

Some old 3D bechmarks with multiGPU SLI / Crossfire, 2X or unlimited cores, not limited to 4 GPU cores for example would be nice to have and are always interesting to me. 

Be please cautious on the limitations given for each stage. For example give a free "Conroe core" stage as per Hwbot database and not exclude the Core 2 extreme X6800 because it is a rare CPU and not widely available.
 

That's all from my side for now.

I will close monitor the thread and will revert again in case required.

The Cinebench - 2024 GPU - GPU family stage is unclear about multi-GPU support, I think we should limit to "1 videocard core(s) in total".

The score seems to scale indefinitely the more GPU it use. If we keep it that way it would be more a stage of who can align the most GPU rather than an "overclocking" stage.
