September 23, 201411 yr Author So no point (pun intended:D) in running the old version, then? Why, keep using it, just leave threads on Auto.
September 23, 201411 yr Why, keep using it, just leave threads on Auto. Or manually select the proper amount? On a side note, if you bench a quad you're free to run 4 threads as many times as you want, right? Like, setting 4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4... as parameters.

Like, setting 4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4... as parameters. That was going to be the same question I was going to ask. But on a side note, auto also sometimes brings up bugged results due to thread count issues and other things right? So isn't that counter productive anyway?
September 23, 201411 yr All I can say at this point is why continue to use this bench since even with default settings it can give a bugged result? This one should be disabled period until the problem is fixed or you guys will still have work to do in the near future. Once the bench has been fixed, then allow subs with it again OR find a replacement - More difficult to do I'll admit but the issues with bugs and UCbench has turned it into a moderator's nightmare no matter which option is chosen. I would say see if it can be fixed before ditching it of course and that's probrably what would happen anyway and probrably the best choice..... If it can be fixed. That's just my viewpoint of it.

Just leave the threads at auto , and only change the instruction set, you'll be good to go no matter what in most cases. That's because sometimes the benchmark can produce a bugged run even at default settings. To my understanding, setting 4,4,4,4,4,4 is illegal because you ignore the rest of the default cpu threads (1,2,3).
October 21, 201411 yr Yup that's correct, I am moderating UCBench in the flight back (Emirates has internet): I am a generous god. Edited October 21, 201411 yr by Christian Ney
October 26, 201411 yr So you are not planning in giving up at this bench. What is the future for this? Will another version be available?...
October 26, 201411 yr no news on the new version, I will poke the dev again. It will be back for submission in 2015 with new rules.
