Post your SuperPi Score!

[87dtna]

If the OP is unwilling to update and manage this thread, then we'll likely import the all the scores into a new thread and allow a moderator to manage it.

We don't want the scores imported...we want new scores.

What he means is all the current scores plus whatever scores have not been updated.

we want new scores.

If we create a new thread, I think all the users that have posted in this thread should still receive credit for their scores. We'll discuss starting from scratch however. I assume that's what you're suggesting, that we start from scratch and eliminate all the scores in this thread.

I'd like to start from scratch for a few reasons. First, some members are not even active anymore, so why should their scores remain? And second, a lot of the scores are old hardware, and perhaps people have since gotten new rigs but not updated their score (and/or it was never updated in this thread). Perhaps they lost interest and a new thread with fresh scores will re-kindle it.

Why not? If it's for the same purpose. You are clearly not interested in updating your thread, and I won't mind doing it. Plus we'll start with fresh scores not ones from 2 years ago. I would not carry over the current list. There would be no point in keeping this thread going as it would distract from the new thread. Without updates, this thread is completely pointless, it should not be allowed to stay open.

I'm not saying that it wouldn't be a good idea, I'm simply saying that by you alone asking to close this thread and start a new one doesn't mean that this will be closed.

It's not against anyone, I just simply don't have time to keep these threads updated like I did when I created them.

 

[87dtna]

Gotcha.

 

[El Gappo]

Can you not just change the owner of the thread? I see that done all the time on v-bulletin

 

[87dtna]

Apparently...nothing is gonna get done.

Super-Pi is really old software that doesn't really take advantage of multi-core processors. I suggest we just let this thread die and move on to another program called Y-Cruncher. There is more information about it here:

SuperPi lets you compare single, dual, and quad core processors equally and lets you see the true performance of the processor in relation to others.

There is and never will be a replacement for the epic sauce that is super pi

Also this version is still good for seeing how the architecture from one series of chips compares to another, it's not all about the number of cores you have

That's cool... totally understandable.

There will be a new thread up soon.

HOW DARE YOU SIR!

Stupid caps rule.

Consider this thread finished, new threads will be up within a few days pending outcome of the poll. Geoff does not have the time to continue updating these threads and has agreed with the closing of this thread.
