Linpack Xtreme Released

Why are the settings reset on every boot on the Linux version? It says things about filesystems I don't understand at all.
 
Run it first without any overclocking for a few hours.
Sorry, took me a little while to find some time for this. Done now; no errors reported on XMP Settings. Also no errors reported on my RAM OC attempt. :)
Thanks!

Looks fine to me, but you should also test with MemTest64.

Hi there, I have an AMD Ryzen 9 3950X which I have tested with Linpack Extreme stress testing running 20 iterations to begin with and it passed without an issue. My concern is when I run IBT I cannot get my system stable and temps are higher than when I run Linpack Extreme. Is this normal? Or am I maybe doing something wrong. It also state that I have 32 processors with 32 threads which seems a little off but it seems to work non the less.

Oh and another question with 16gb memory installed how much should I select for the stress test. At first I selected 8gb, now running with 10gb but when I tried 14gb is was ridiculously slow but temps appear to be going higher so it might be better.

Okay so I ran Linpack Extreme Stress test 20 iterations which took roughly 2 hours just to get an idea where it is at. I'm happy to say it passed without an issue, more than I could say for Prime95 or IBT.

Latest version 1.1.2 doesn't load up my 2700x like 1.1.1 and prior.

Does this have to do with the fact that Ryzen 1 and 2 have only 128 bit FPUs and need to split up 256 bit operations?

If that's the case, why would that be forced on for Zen1 and Zen+ CPUs?

It's not in my head either. v1.1.1 is 5 degrees hotter than v1.1.2

Funny enough I just tried v1.1.1 taken your comment. I'm running it on a Ryzen 9 3950X and it would fail in a couple of seconds, even at stock. I will try it now with my memory running stock to see if the failure persist and report back.

Okay, just tried it with the memory running stock and processor running stock and it still fails.
 
Version 1.1.2 forces the use of AVX2 instructions for Ryzen CPUs to remain compatible with the 3000 series.

Prime95 uses AVX, and IBT uses SSE. If you crash with these, your OC is probably unstable.

In the next version, I'll add an option to select instruction set.
 
Just want to confirm that it is perfectly normal to have different residual results on the 8700K.

Okay I picked up another 3950X after selling the first one I bought and this chip is a little better even though it is also from week 45 of 2019. This one pass IBT very high mem preset at 4.2ghz using 1.225vcore so I am happy.
 
Is there any chance that the bootable version gets the newest Linpack with forced AVX2 support too? Because right now the bootable one fails on 3950X CPUs because of the AVX2 quirks.
 
ok I just tried this software on 3900x, these were the results on benchmark mode as an initial test.no bugs or quirks though so it could be your motherboard bios settings giving you an issue @brezeljohannes
Great stability tool. Thanks a lot to the OP!!!! :toast:
BTW my cpu was using up 1.4vcore... stayed cool though from 60% to 78%.
well decided to follow DerBauer's tips for the 570x series motherboards and changed my memory speed up to 3600mhz from 3466mhz and the power draw limit.
Also upped to ppt limit to 300amps
tdc and edc to 230amps
the initial settings gave me a fail each time in linpack.
Went back in to the bios and worked on the timings and afterwards I received passes... I also used 1.45v for my 3466mhz clocked to 3600mhz sticks of B-Die. FCLK auto set to 1800mhz.
The pc is noticeably quicker... I almost cant believe it.
Heres the results.

Hi, first-time poster!

So I'm trying to get to the bottom of general system instability I've had lately, and I've been running some different Linpack apps.

This was one.

I tried LinX and it passed that no problem, and this too, but there was a discrepancy.

In LinX the Residual had to remain the same calculation, otherwise the run broke down - it would also mean residual norm was wrong too.

On these events, the pass stopped and it was a fail.

But in Linpack Extreme it's not reporting a wrong calculation as an error and says that's fine?

Surely the residual and norm both have to remain consistent otherwise it's a fail?

Can someone kindly clarify this oddity?

Thanks, but as said in my post, I am talking about the BOOTABLE LINUX VERSION that is having this issue with AVX on the Ryzen 3 CPUs (3950X, etc.). The Windows version works fine here too, but the bootable version fails to run with any Ryzen 3 CPU and hence I´ve asked for an update of that one. The bootable version tends to find errors that passes just fine if running it on Windows, as the Linux kernel is a lot more sensitive to this kind of stuff.

Edit run_stress_test, add "export MKL_DEBUG_CPU_TYPE=5" after "export MKL_DYNAMIC=FALSE".
 
Hi there. My 9900K@5.0 only got around 230 GFLOPS, which is ridiculous. I've seen people getting at least 500 GFLOPS or more.
Also, how come my 9900K only has 8 threads? And why is my maximum CPU usage only 52%?
