hi,
MaxxPI² - PreView - Multi (multicore/thread)
This benchmark uses as formula the Chudnovsky algorithm, unlike the MaxxPI ² - PreView - Single that use the Gauss-Legendre algorithm.
The advantage of the Chudnovsky algorithm is, that principally, multi-core capability is possible. MaxxPI ² - PreView - Multi use this.
That means: That all available CPU cores work together on a single calculation. It was made sure that all CPU's equally served.
There is no optimization, so that no CPU manufacturer is preferred.
Technical:
MaxxPI² - PreView - Multi needs at least a dual-core processor and supports in the current version 1.07 CPU's with
2,3,4 and 8 Core's.
So the benchmark will only run on CPU's, with more than one core (HT core counts as real core, so 1+1HT core will accepted).
Maximum depth of calculation:
268.435.456 decimal places
