Linpack Xtreme Released

There are reports that LinpackXtreme 1.1.5 does not work on Ryzen 9000 chips (e.g. here and here).

As Linpack was never intended to be run on AMD processors, it has to be manually... convinced to do so, and the binary included in LinpackXtreme 1.1.5 (linpack_amd64.exe) apparently doesn't play along with the Ryzen 9000 series anymore.

For my CoreCycler script I have added several Linpack versions as well, and these apparently do seem to work with Ryzen 9000 processors.
You would need to replace the binaries\x64\linpack_amd64.exe from LinpackXtreme 1.1.5 with e.g. the linpack_patched.exe from inside the CoreCycler test_programs\linpack\2018.0.3.1\ directory (and rename it to linpack_amd64.exe of course).

There are multiple Linpack versions in CoreCycler. The 2018.0.3.1 version has the same version number as the one that is used for LinpackXtreme's Intel binary, but the actual version for the AMD version is not being displayed in the file properties, so it's not entirely clear if that's a one to one replacement for AMD as well.
The other version could work as well, although at some time after the 2019 version, Intel has changed which parameters are accepted for the binary, so it may produce different results (I think 2021+ only uses AVX2 instructions, whereas LinpackXtreme is set up to try to activate only AVX).
 
Linpack Xtreme was updated today to version 1.1.6 to address all the recent issues.

Next version will include updated binaries and will be focused just on new hardware.
I downloaded version v1.1.6, and windows 11 24h2 flagged it as a virus, I attempted to allow it...but Microsoft says I can only restore it...then while clicking, it popped up to allow it...so I did..and it's still blocked!! It did install the WMIC thou before it blocked

When trying to run the .exe on newest 1.16 version on a 9800X3D the window just open and closes in a matter of 0.1s

Same with my 5800X3D running the latest version of 10.

On 24H2 I get this:

Just wanted to update..

24H2 took some updates and 1.15 is working again :kookoo:
 
The crash to desktop error has been addressed.

Please download the latest version (1.1.7) from the 1st post.

Adding functionality to download and install wmic seems way more complicated than just using the powershell command instead. o_O

The PowerShell script doesn't work in Windows 7 and below (even if its installed). Uncertain about 8. WMIC works everywhere.

Do you have update linpack version?
 
It doesn't run (latest version) on any of my Linux machines (all Zen 3) On each machine i get an error in Line 27 pretty much right after starting the benchmark saying:
Line 27: 18608 Invalid machine instruction ./AuthenticAMD default

*Edit*

Linux Version seems to be outdated. The upload was 2020 and it is still version 1.1.5.

Any news about the windows 11 defender flagging it as a virus??

I test each build on every recent Windows OS and there were no detections on my side.

If it's the blue smartscreen for "unrecognized app", it appears for almost every 3rd party homebrew software.

Windows 11 defender seems worse than Windows 10. It deletes false positive files and it takes a few attempts to exclude a file.

Are you running it from the zen2+ script?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Defender flagged it (without any pop-up or notification). I had to go into the virus section and noticed it was there, and I told it to put it back. It was flagged as severe, and gave no option to allow the app.

Also, I downloaded from your website when it flagged. Here is a screenshot of defender.

Just downloaded 1.1.7, it did not trigger defender virus, same issue close after startup 7800X3D x870. Here's a video!

Also, here is the stop code I got from running an admin prompt

Try the new version. If it doesn't work, please upload a clear photo. I take it was 60 was unexpected at this time.

I'm a fool. That was it (i wasn't). I just read the Readme without looking what other scripts are there.
Just one more thing. Is there any Consensus about what amount of Problem Size i ~should~ use? Is it better to use all the RAM in Terms of stability Testing?

Hi, are there command line parameters that I can use for this benchmark? I would like to run it from a batch file without manually entering the parameters.
