y-cruncher Description
Mathematical enthusiasts who use their PCs for performing various complex operations and crunch numbers, might, at some point, wish to assess their PCs performance when it comes to such undertakings.
y-cruncher was developed to provide people with a command-line based application that can help them easily perform benchmarking tests for their PCs, regarding number crunching operations.
Being used for setting several world records, y-cruncher has established the standard for the most digits of Pi ever computed, with a record of 13.3 trillion digits, registered in October 2014.
Based on a command-line editor interface, the application will enable users to easily evaluate the capabilities of their PCs for computing the number Pi. Featuring several on-screen switches for easy handling, it provides a primary control through some commands.
One will be able to perform the benchmark test for Pi in all the available RAM, use a component stress tester feature or run I/O performance analysis. Further options enable people to compute constants such as the Golden Ratio or using their settings.
In addition to the above-mentioned features, the utility also allows people to access a BBP Digit Extractor for Pi, a digit viewer or enter advanced preferences.
After selecting the preferred computation operation, the utility will list the different decimal digit classes and their corresponding required RAM memory, this way enabling users to get a grasp of their PCs’ performance.
