System Stability Tester tries to test the system's stability by
|
||
|
|
calculating up to 128 millions of Pi digits. It supports multiple
|
||
|
|
calculation algorithms. For the moment only two have been implemented.
|
||
|
|
The Quadratic Convergence of Borwein and Gauss-Legendre, the
|
||
|
|
algorithm SuperPi uses. The testing process includes the creation
|
||
|
|
of two or more threads. After each step of the calculation, the
|
||
|
|
results of all the threads are compared. Any differences between
|
||
|
|
them are reported. There is also the option for single threaded
|
||
|
|
calculation, but in this case there is no stability check. This is
|
||
|
|
useful for benchmarking purposes only. The calculation of Pi itself
|
||
|
|
is multi threaded since version 0.7.2, for the Borwein algorithm
|
||
|
|
only.
