(To run this test successfully you will probably need an NVIDA CUDA enabled
graphics card, probably compute capability 2.0 as a minimum).
Hello,
Skybuck's RAM Test version 0.07 is now available at the following link, in
either winrar form or loose files (3):
File:

What the test does is the following:
It creates 20.000 blocks. Each block has 8.000 elements. Each element is a
32 bit integer (4 bytes).
Each block has one execution thread.
The execution thread "travels" through the elements in a random fashion.
(RAM read test).
It stores/writes the last element it processed in the BlockResult[
BlockIndex ] to verify if it indeed did any processing at all.
This test is performed on GPU and CPU. (On the CPU only one thread/core is
used for now, perhaps a future test will include multi-threading).
The timing and performance results are then displayed at the bottom.
The GT 520 gpu and the AMD x2 3800+ dual core cpu single thread performed as
follows:
Kernel execution time in seconds: 25.0870683593750000
CPU execution time in seconds : 11.8696194628088207
Cuda memory transactions per second: 63777878.5898704829000000
CPU memory transactions per second : 134797918.7549603890000000
Conclusion: CPU's single thread is twice as fast as GPU.
Note: this test requires 611 megabyte (640.000.000 bytes) to be
free/available on CPU and GPU.
I would be very much interested in how this test performs on your
system/cpu/gpu.
So if you do run this test on your system, please post the results below
(just the 4 lines as above is enough/fine).
(Also additional info about system would be nice too but is not required
)
You can also e-mail results to:

Bye,
Skybuck.
