CoreCycler GUI v2.1.0

CoreCycler GUI v2.1.0

Core & Thread Monitoring

• The monitor grid now shows CORES & THREADS — each physical core renders as a row with a Core box and a Thread box (HT/SMT sibling)
• Live status: active logical CPUs light up during stress testing, idle ones stay dimmed
• SMT-aware: automatically detects Hyperthreading/SMT and maps logical CPUs to physical cores
• Non-SMT systems show just the Core box

Fast Stress Process Exit Detection

• The GUI now learns the spawned stress-test PID directly from CoreCycler script output
• Polls the process directly for faster detection when the stress program exits or crashes

Stop Test Improvements

• Stopping a test now properly resets all thread indicators to idle
• The previously testing core is marked as Passed (not left in Testing state)
• Cores that already passed or errored keep their status

Layout & UI Fixes

• Fixed window close button (X) becoming unclickable — the monitor panel now clips its content to prevent layout overflow into the title bar
• Status text for stopped/finished tests is now bright white instead of dim gray
• Log lines containing "Stopped" also use bright white text

Testing

• 19 unit tests covering thread parsing, cross-core reset, stop/reset behavior, PID extraction, config round-trips, SMT constraints, and more

Requirements

• Windows 10/11
• .NET 8 Runtime
• PowerShell (included with Windows)

CoreCycler GUI v2.0.0

CoreCycler GUI v2.0.0

Major update to the desktop GUI wrapper for sp00n/CoreCycler.

UI Improvements

• FFT Size is now a dropdown with all presets (Smallest through HeavyShort) plus a Custom option that reveals a text field for custom ranges (e.g. 36-1344)
• Linpack Memory is now a dropdown with preset sizes (100MB through 32GB) matching the script's hard-coded problem sizes
• Runtime Per Core is now a numeric-only field (minutes); legacy config formats (360, 1h4m, 90s, auto) are automatically converted on load
• Conditional fields — settings only appear when relevant:
  • Delay Between Cores shown only when Restart Per Core is enabled
  • Treat WHEA Warning as Error shown only when WHEA checking is on
• Context-aware warnings for AVX512 compatibility, y-cruncher C17 test limitations, admin rights requirements, Event Log prerequisites, and more
• AIDA64 checkbox layout tightened for cleaner appearance

Config Preset Support

• Selecting a useConfigFile preset now immediately loads that preset's values into the editor
• Reload resolves presets the same way the PowerShell script does
• RUN clears useConfigFile before launch so the script uses the exact values shown in the GUI

Machine-Aware Defaults

• SMT detection — on systems without Hyperthreading, the GUI forces single-thread mode and disables Assign Both Virtual Cores with a clear explanation
• y-cruncher normalization — running old or new y-cruncher automatically remaps incompatible modes and filters unsupported tests before launch

Script Discovery

• The GUI now searches upward from its own directory and the current working directory to find script-corecycler.ps1

Testing

• 15 unit tests covering preset loading, config round-trips, SMT constraints, y-cruncher normalization, and script path discovery

Requirements

• Windows 10/11
• .NET 8 Runtime
• PowerShell (included with Windows)
