Y-Cruncher Beta Competition

Y-Cruncher is a program that computes Pi and other constants to billions/trillions of digits. It currently holds the world record for the most digits of Pi ever computed (13.3 trillion digits) as well as a bunch of other less popular constants.

Y-Cruncher is also the first Pi computing program that can a) use multiple threads for a worthwhile speedup, b) use (and stress) an unlimited amount of memory and c) utilize ISA extensions (SSE, AVX, etc...) for nearly all modern processors. Y-Cruncher owner Mysticial developed a GUI that can run and submit results to HWBOT. This competition is to best test the submitter. More information in the forum thread.

Anyone figured out some interesting tweaks for the benchmark?

You will laugh, but at my tests lower memory frequency was faster - I have no idea if this is for all systems or if it was my bunnied OS :D

I swear when I tested this back in 2011 it was faster with higher memory speed but it was that long ago I can't remember and it was am3+ which we all know has a memory bandwidth problem

I thought this was a joke thread. What benchmark are you talking about? What competition is the related to?

more GBs is faster...
