Black Hole benchmark Download Version V4.1

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/23/2013 06:51 PM [ 123 comment(s) ]

Download the Black Hole benchmark (pre-release). It tests the pure calculation speed of your cpu in double and integer (floating and integer). The bench has 2 tests, multithreaded and singlethreaded. Multithreaded will take all your threads to its max use, singlethreaded stresses 1 thread 100% You can submit the final score to the database and I'll make scoretables of the scores I receive there.

 

Why Pre-release?

  • Website in make
  • Trying to make a code to measure the turbo clock of the cpu, not the base clock.
  • Looking for improvements

Usage

First Close ALL other programs.

  1. Download the app from the download in this thread
  2. Extract the exe
  3. Run the exe and press multithreaded test (the program can be stuck while running, just let it do his job for 1-5 min)
  4. When completed that, run the singlethreaded test (will last 1-4 min)
  5. Then you get the final score, now you can save it in the database --> post your scores --> fill in your username and RIGHT CLOCKSPEED if overclocked. Be honest on this part!
  6. Click send
  7. Look on this thread for scores, I'll try to update every weekend

Other important information

  • Only for windows from xp and up
  • You need at least .NET framework 2.1
  • Only for 64 bit systems
  • Ram speed and latency can affect the score pretty much
  • At this moment it supports up to 34 threads, I'll update soon so you can test even systems with 128 threads!

    In case anyone is getting ilivid crapware downloaded, download benchmark directly from here instead

    You're my second person with this problem. Did you update to latest .NET framework?

    I thought, I'll join the forum. :P

    Thanks for testing all, my database went from 60 to 75 tests in a short time!
    Sorry for the name of the benchmark, had no inspiration ;P

    Maybe you guys are interested to do the first hardware review based on this? :D
    No need to if you don't want to :P

    Same issue here. Noticed we're both using AMD processors, maybe certain ones trigger it. Maybe not.

    Works fine with AMD

    It does say "Not Responding" while its running the benchmark but it completes and unfreezes at the end

    Yep, can't fix that. It stresses all threads to 100% and most programs will be stuck while running the benchmark.

    Weird about that problem, check or your .NET framework is up to date...
    The only person who fixed it, reinstalled windows, but that's not what I want you to do :S

    Here's mine, CPU at stock speed, did note that all cores (including HT) were ramped up during benchmark....


    Refuses to run on my FX rig though.....get a stop responding message.

    After I seen many results, I can see AMD is always in disadvantage in terms of the integer pass. I might try to look for fixes in the next version.
