[Q] Achieving High Linpack Scores

Ok, so I've experimented a LOT with different ROMs, different kernels, different overclocking etc and I just CANNOT seem to break the 48.333 barrier. I've achieved this several times on CM6 nightly with Wildmonks 1190 kernel.
Tonight, I took a few different ROMs (Rods, CM6 & NAZTech Plain) and modified them removing anything that could drain resources such as Maps, Messenger, Voice Search, etc etc. I re-signed them, flashed them AND flashed Wildmonks experimental 1267 kernel (maxed JUST below because 1267 is an insta-freeze) and I STILL only achieved 48.333 max.
Any tips?
I mean, I'm happy with my phones everyday performance, I'm more or less just trying to clock a linpack score in the high 49's for S&G's.
(The linpack record for N1 is like 50, showing an overclock kernel of 1300 but I highly doubt that as I've never heard of an N1 achieving even 1267 without lockup)

my highest score was 47.6 I think, and for about 2 weeks I kept running linpack days and nights to attempt to get higher score
But after second week I gave up, I could get around 47.6 and no higher.

Anyone?

Nobody at all can tell me how to achieve better scores?

1.267 was achieved by 'the jesus phone'

Mine was 41.01 with Stock Nexus One (Froyo)
Now (with the new version of Linpack) I can't get more than 34.9xx

The Jesus phone isn't even in the top ten for Nexus anymore. Check my signature. I hit 50.525 3x using Wildmonk 1267 kernel experimental. OC 1228 mhz stable. The highest for the N1 is 55 legit. Persian.

what is the ideal setup to achieve maximum mlops on the nexus?
1. Rom?
2. Kernel?
3. ?????

Why are benchmark scores so important?!
I find that just using my phone on a daily basis, being able to complete all the tasks I need, and do it with style & grace, is enough for me.
My Nexus still outperforms every single device amongst me and my friends.
I can do way more things, etc. etc. you all know this.
So why bother with trying to get the highest Linpack or Quadrant scores?!
BTW: I read a post the other night in which Cyanogen himself stated that cheating on benchmark scores was easy. so ... hhmm.

Because we can?

How come I can only score around 36 on my Nexus One? I did full data wipe, cache and dalvik wipe. Then installed CM6 RC3 and wildmonks kernel 2.6.35_SVS-950mV_CFS_AXI_720p_1113MHz_081910. I've also installed SetCPU and overclocked to max of 1113. How can get this above 40?

Jesus' phone was fast, but not as fast as mine!

GOD

Don't trust in the top devices list.
It's too easy to cheat
I can show you if you want it and put any MFlops you want.
So here is my advice : Use linpack to improve your device, but never compare your results to other, that make no sense.
I wish greenecomputing can solve this, maybe I should contact them.

Yeah, you might be right, however this popped up while driving right after flashing CM6+Wildmonk's 1113 kernel and shocked the heck outta me It's real, not faked....probably inaccurate, but real.

No worries, I didn't mean yours is fake
I just wanted to warn people about the reliability of the list and tell them to use Linpack as a personal device benchmark (ie after a ROM update) and not like a competition because some results may be totally fake.

well i was getting same scores with stock froyo, so just wondering why when overclocked with WM kernel and using CM6, shouldn't it be improved??

I personally usually get about 36 I would love to get 45

Low linpack scores

Before you make comments I already searches.
Ok...so the other night I'm all bragging about my phone with some friends and had the idea that we should all run benchmarks to see who came up with the best score.
An EVO 4G running cyanogen, Nexus One on 2.2, and a stock T-Mobile G2 all scored in the 30s. My Captivate on Phoenix 2.5 scored 14...wtf? Why are our scores so low?

These benchmark tools are not optimized for our chipset. The score in the end doesn't matter except for each person to see if they have any increases. When comparing with other phones the true test would be speed of the phone which you would probably see the Captivate would perform very well.

Agreed about benchmarking...but if you need to feel better about it test them with neocore or nenamark, the graphics cripple the evo.
I have had both phones and gps aside, the sgs is far better imo.

Linpack performs better on Scorpion CPU's (Snapdragon) due to full JIT optimization. It is not a measure of actual performance.

Tell your friends exactly what GGX said, word for word.
Then have them test just as newter said.
Then tell them to shut up.

Overclocking the 8.9 Galaxy Tablet

Hey guys,
Posted under general questions and to my surprise not one reply in a week. So, I'm curious to know somethings about overclocking these tablets. What settings are you using? Have you had any issues with overheating and shutting down?What settings are recommended for web browsing, gaming etc? Let's talk linpack and benchmark testing. Where do you rank and how did you get there? Let's talk SetCPU benchmark scores, what kind of results can you squeeze out out of your device? How does someone pull off 41916.7 MFLOPS?! (Nexus) I'll start......
GT-7310 Running 3.2 / Motley Kernal / SetCPU
SetCPU Scores
Long Bench @ 178ms / Native @ 621.5ms
Linpack Scores
Single thread @ 42.4 MFLOPS / Multi thread @ 83.2 MFLOPS
Obtained running 1504MHz max / 216MHz min
Note: I have overheated and shutdown at 1504 web browsing. At 1400MHz I have had no issues. I see some scores are through the roof. I'm not to familiar with Overclocking and just would like to hear what you guys have to say. Thanks in advance. I may of posted this in the wrong area and I apologize. I would like this to be a thread on the topic rather than a Q & A.

Well I personally run my tab @1200Mhz with -25mV on the 1000&1200 steps, but anyhow, due to the interactive governor the most used setps are 216, 456 and 1200. I don't undervolt the lower test for stability reasons as I mostly work on the tablet so I don't want to test yet how low uV can go, don't have the time to test it right now. (Even though I'm pretty sure -25mV even on lower steps is still largely stable)
As for the set CPU test I tried them out on 1504Mhz: 150 and 595ms. I once pushed the tab to 1600Mhz but it ended up in an immediate freeze so I will skip on trying that again.
I don't have linpack but tried running GLBench 2.1 Egypt and the score was pretty embarrasing

Thanks for sharing. Since my post I have flashed aokp-34 galaxiansoup with v-3 of the Motley Kernal. Running 1400 on 216 no undervolting and am seeing a tiny increase in numbers. I'm still stumped on these linpack scores. This thing runs great. No complaints whatsoever. Anyone want to chime in on the best bench testing app or what the stock numbers on these 7310's are?

everyone will tell you that benchmark scores aren't very representative!
run the test 5 times and each time you will get a slightly different score.
i don't really care about benchmarking, as long as i feel that my tab runs smooth (which i think it does) im pretty happy. im normally at 1,4ghz and everything is smooth and stable!

Thanks for sharing. I couldn't agree more. My tab runs great at the same speed settings as yours. I just don't understand the numbers and how certain device's have like 100 times my mflops......I'm a numbers guy by nature, I like to see it on paper....but I am content with my device. Just always looking to make it cleaner and faster.....you know the addiction I'm sure.

Are you happy with this kernel? I found it stuttering and laggy...

Yes, I've not ran into any issues. Totally impressed and content with v3 motley. If there is a better kernel out there I'd love to hear about. I have yet to look, no need.

Been running a few custom profiles via Setcpu peaking @1.5GHz on B37 for a few weeks now. Other than a force close or two and an occasional browser freeze, which is normal with these roms, this thing is running pretty snappy. Gotta watch the temp though.

I sure hope that you've set up your profiles so that your tab overclocks to 1.5Ghz only occasionally, it's a thing that you HW can handle it, but will it on the long term?
Also, I regret that you can't overclock the bus frequency to get an overall performance boost (the GPU could really use it..) as on the Galaxy S

Yeah, I'm only pushing 1.5 on occasion, per profile. I normally run 1.4 all day everyday for the last 3 months with heavy use and no issues. Just gotta watch the temp. I've had mine to 113 degrees which kinda scared me.

Benchmarks / Quadrant scores

Does benchmarks and quadrant scores really that important?

Ultimately - I think not?
If the phone feels quick, and it runs your programes then i would not worry about benchmarking... But if it feels slow and sluggish, then i would try out one of the many benchmarking programes out there, and see if there truely is a problem...
I have tryed it a cauple of times and found that my note ran perfectly well, and that it was I whos was mistaken..

They are good tools to tweak your phone as long as you know what look for but of course one single benchmsrk cannot tell the whole story so I use a combination of benchmarks and applications that i am familiar with when evaluating rom/kernels or overclocking settings.

It surely does make no difference if you score high or low. What matters is that you should be satisfied with ur phones performance.

what i really noticed is that the memory and I/O scores are kernel specific and the more scores you have the more fast the operations on ur phone becomes..
i personaly have achieved highest scores of I/O using notecore /hydracore

This one is really not important. Haha.
Leave this app eversince I bought my notes.
As long as smooth, good battery life, what else u need?
U win nothing even if ur benchmark higher from others.

My buddy got a Droid DNA the other day. I immediately snatched it up to check it out. What a screen!
Anyway...ran a couple benchmarks and was AMAZED!
Quadrant = 8085
BenchmarkPi = ~280
0.0
Our phone's guts are the same! My Nexus 4 is even overclocked and doesn't come CLOSE...
Just out of curiosity...how is it that my rooted, ROM'd, overclocked Nexus gets its teeth kicked in by a stock Droid DNA?

Does it really matter? I don't know about your n4 but mine has zero lag and handles every app and game I have thrown at it with ease. Benchmark scores mean nothing compared to actual use and performance. Dont worry about scores and enjoy your 4.2.2 phone.

That was quick. Yes, I love my phone, yes it runs extremely well, yes benchmarks aren't perfect.
Now that we got that out of the way...

Wrong section, also the Droid DNA screen is incredibly saturated screen..way more then the N4 thats for sure.

quadrant runs bad on n4, no one seems to know why (prob 4.2.2 reason, 4.1.x seems ok). dunno about pi test.
try antutu, it's recently updated and not built for over year old chipsets. you will see your n4 runs fine

quadrant hasnt been updated for years. using quadrant is like using a car from 60's and complaining the heater doesn't heat fast. use antutu and see what you get on both phones.

You don't need to understand; OP wasn't directing his post at anyone in particular. Just like MPG, 0-30/60/1/4 mile times, HP, and torque ratings in car reviews help people compare different car models, benchmarks in mobile devices help people make similar comparisons. That's why noted review sites like GSMArena and Anandtech devote 1/3 of their 10+ page reviews to performance benchmarking. I totally agree that if a device's performance meets someone's needs that’s more important than benchmarks. But I also feel performance benchmarks, just like audio, display brightness/contrast, and camera tests serve a legitimate purpose. I've found people that don't like benchmarks are usually device owners on the wrong side of them. Clearly HTC did a better job of optimizing their s/w for S4 Pro than either Google or LG did which, to OP's point, is why the DNA benchmarks so much better. In another thread someone said individual user s/w influences benchmarks. Most of them are low-level tests or use emulators (Sunspider) so what's running (or not) on the device won't influence the result. It is what it is.
Here are some comments from Anandtech talking about the Optimus G's less than steller benchmark performance. It's not due to S4 Pro but it doesn't really matter because the net result is what people experience using the device. Great performance which benchmarks measure takes a combination of s/w and h/w as shown by the DNA comparison OP's made.
Sunspider is lightly threaded and thus doesn't see huge scaling going to four cores. In fact, in this case we're not seeing any real improvement over the dual-core Krait based devices from HTC. It's unclear how much of the Optimus G's performance is due to LG's browser/software stack vs. the underlying hardware.
BrowserMark doesn't look great and the Optimus G's performance is almost certainly due to LG's own browser code. Qualcomm's reference software stack can provide great performance, but it's up to the individual OEM to take advantage of it.​

ooooh it has big numbers ...

HTC will always be laggy running sense!!!
