Hi Ed,

I'm afraid Windows Defender does not like running batchfiles, and pretty much everybody has Windows Defender still running in Windows 10 I think. If you do decide to run the batch file you can override but then you get

Code: Select all

C:\WINDOWS\system32>sf9 bench 128 1 20  1>NUL
'sf9' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>pause
Press any key to continue . . .
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Hi Eelco,

Looks like you ran CPU-1.BAT from the windows\system32 folder?

Unzip creates a folder BENCH. You should run CPU-1.BAT from there.

But maybe you have?

Hi Ed,

:oops: I think I see what I did wrong, trying to be smart I chose "Als administrator uitvoeren" and that goes wrong. Just with "Openen" I have to click through Windows Defender warnings but the batch runs well:

1 CPU:
===========================
Total time (ms) : 36141
Nodes searched : 81858477
Nodes/second : 2264975

and with 4 CPU:
===========================
Total time (ms) : 39689
Nodes searched : 296045138
Nodes/second : 7459123

HT I'm not completely sure, it is not turned off in BIOS but should not be triggered unless more than 4 threads I think. Turbo I do not know, never checked that but I don't think it plays a big role in this i7, but maybe you could set it to a question mark? This is an i7 6700 at 3408 MHz says Shredder GUI.

In the Netherlands we use the dot as decimal separator, that's probably why Ed does it this way.

Instead of naming it 1,4,8 and 16 CPU, 1,4,8 and 16 thread(s) seems more logical.
