Super PI small PI calculator, and it pretty much sums up how fast is your processor. Just run the Super PI calculator and post results or even compare it with other people here. Let’s expose our processors.
Windows users can compare results of total time taken to calculate 1M digits of PI.
Linux users can compare results of command, ./super_pi 20
I admit, I shouldn’t be talking about processors speeds with the kind of outdated processor I have. But I believe my 2mb L2 is still keeping me in competetion
Here are my results :
Start of PI calculation up to 1048576 decimal digits
End of initialization. Time= 0.472 Sec.
I= 1 L= 0 Time= 1.616 Sec.
I= 2 L= 0 Time= 1.892 Sec.
I= 3 L= 1 Time= 1.888 Sec.
I= 4 L= 2 Time= 1.892 Sec.
I= 5 L= 5 Time= 1.892 Sec.
I= 6 L= 10 Time= 1.900 Sec.
I= 7 L= 21 Time= 1.896 Sec.
I= 8 L= 43 Time= 1.896 Sec.
I= 9 L= 87 Time= 1.900 Sec.
I=10 L= 174 Time= 1.896 Sec.
I=11 L= 349 Time= 1.876 Sec.
I=12 L= 698 Time= 1.896 Sec.
I=13 L= 1396 Time= 1.904 Sec.
I=14 L= 2794 Time= 1.884 Sec.
I=15 L= 5588 Time= 1.884 Sec.
I=16 L= 11176 Time= 1.872 Sec.
I=17 L= 22353 Time= 1.856 Sec.
I=18 L= 44707 Time= 1.796 Sec.
I=19 L= 89415 Time= 1.700 Sec.
End of main loop
End of calculation. Time= 37.286 Sec.
End of data output. Time= 0.224 Sec.
Total calculation(I/O) time= 37.510( 0.912) Sec.
So it takes 37.510 seconds to calculate 1M digits of PI at my Pentium M Centrino 1.73Ghz with 2MB L2. Will post results from Blade Power Edge Server at my workplace which is a Quad Core state of art Server.

Even I was wondering, Looks like the test used up only on one core or sthing like that. Its a quad core by the way. May be the blade needs a 64bit OS

I think Windows is giving *lesser* results than Linux for the same machines. Can someone confirm this for this lazy animal ?
March 8, 2008 at 8:42 am
Ya, I think Windows machines are giving +10 secs from Linux counterparts. I think it has to be something with the binaries are implemented on both OSes.

intel c2d 1.83ghz 2gb ram on ubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex
i used a different program from the linux repos, (it was called “pi”) and i got 11.000s for 1000000 digits
=D
anyone else tried this program? i still think thats pretty good considering i had 6 windows open running quite a lot.
